F1 Treasures XIII

I said that I was going to visit some other Finnish flea markets this week and this is what I found. Not entirely F1 stuff but every item has something F1 related in it.

I have talked earlier about "Ruutulippu" but if you don't remember or haven't read about it then here's a few words about it:

Ruutulippu means checkered flag in Finnish and it's a TV program in Finland. They also publish a book every year about Finnish motorsports. Every year there's a lot about F1 but in the early 90's it was more about Rally because Finland's Juha Kankkunen did quite well back then. He won 4 world championships.


Here's the first book. Juha Kankkunen on the cover and this is from 1993. It cost only 3 euro and late I noticed that there's Juha Kankkunen's autograph on the cover!! WOW!!


The second book is from 2010 and it was 1 euro.


Inside the book there was a DVD. The disc has various nostalgic moments from the TV show.


The third book is also from 2010 but it is another version of the previous book. This book was given only to VM (Vauhdinmaailma = The world of speed) subscribers. This also cost me only 1 euro.

I thought that people wouldn't be interested of these kind of posts so I stopped doing these. Later I got feedback from none Finnish readers asking me to do more of these. I understand that it might be interesting to know more about Finnish motorsport culture so this is probably why some of you wanted more.

Next time when I go to a flea market I will definitely look for more F1 stuff. I'll keep you posted if I find anything.
