11 year old drives a Mitsubishi Evo in snow

This made us laugh yesterday and shows why Finland is home of the rally driver. Cue an 11 year old lad, plus his mum, in an EVO on snow. Awesome.

    The video is for an Evo II, I wonder if this is an old video, cause if it is it would be interesting to find out where this kid is in motor sport..

    When I was 11-years old I thought I was the Daddy with an 18-speed racing bicycle. What a lucky little so-and-so. Hats off to the lad though: he’s got the skills.

    Wonder what the pace notes from his Mum were like?

    ‘Three right 100 into absolute crest maybe… have you tidied your room Juha?… into 3 left 150… and what about your homework?… best go home it’s almost your bedtime…’
