Teemu always came last

and he always ran to the bus.

Many times we just drove off

and let him run after the bus -

a few hundred meters.

I told him:

"If you miss the f***ing helicopter

I won't wait for you."

"I've been waiting for you

so damn many times."

That time he was 10 minutes early.

You were on a game trip.

- Game trip?

I missed you.

Will you take a nap there?

You'll be sweating soon.

I am totally exhausted.

Every family has their problems, of course.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

They can talk about things.

The most important thing is that the

resolve their conflicts with love.

When you're in a car with me

I am responsible for you.

What if a drunk driver

runs right into us -

and you don't wear a seat belt.

Your parents would ask me

why you didn't have a seat belt on.

"He didn't wanna."

Yuou won't go to the party.

- Yes.

He needs a punishment.

- He must learn.

Leevi is like Teemu

when he was little.

He is mischievous

and not very obedient.

Show a picture of the girl.

Is she so hot -

you want to sacrifice

this much for her?

Teemu gets angry

when I want to be out late.

That's our biggest problem.

What kind of parent is Teemu?

Soft.

Too soft.

So now you get to go to the party?

- Yes, this time.

Treat others as you want to be treated.

It is the main principle in our family.

Hey! Where's my coffee?

Wifey!

Where's my coffee?

- A Moment.

Bad service here.

After years of training...

Here is the gentleman's coffee

in a special cup.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Sirpa ! Delicious coffee.

Is it delicious?

- Yes.

It's been brewed

with love and passion.

Honestly.

- Hey...

It's gonna be white?

- Yes.

The bar is gonna be warm wood.

I just purchased a restaurant

from Laguna Beach -

with some buddies.

It will be a nice bonus.

We are currently renovating.

I want to be in

real estate business.

I would also like to be

in some kind of car business.

I also want to play through

America's top 100 golf courses.

It will probably take several years.

Ducks let me decide for myself

what I want to do.

I do not want a job

where I have to travel a lot.

That's why I won't become a coach.

I'll have many hobbies

and other things to do -

but I don't think I can find

the same passion for something else -

than I have for hockey.

Teemu is strapped in

and ready to go.

Ready? Now.

7.3 g! Great job!

My father has always had a lot of toys.

It came perhaps from there.

Cars have always been a

very important hobby for me.

My first car was a

big old American one.

He bought this '61 Lincoln

when he got a professional contract.

They've accumulated since then.

If I get a good offer,

I buy the car.

It was a fun meeting.

Jari Kurri, Teppo Numminen

and Teemu were there.

We went to eat hamburgers.

They ordered classic cars

before they ordered burgers.

It was easier to choose a car

than a burger.

Teemu drove here a lot.

He trained at drifting and stuff.

We drove around in the evenings.

It was great to drive in the evenings -

because you saw if someone came.

It was safer that way.

We have been cautious

not to do anything stupid.

I removed

driver's seat backrest -

so I could sit back

because I had plaster on my leg.

I used my crutch

for gas

and my right foot for the clutch.

We drove off to a

snow-filled ditch.

I couldn't push the car back to the road -

and neither could Sirpa.

We called our friend Jorkka

who fetched us.

I told him that

Sirpa had driven into the ditch.

It took him a year to get

that I had been driving.

If you watch him

for a day or two -

you will see that he is

completely insane.

The roads are better

and the rain ended.

Now I've got a race feeling.

One of my best friends,

Kaide Eklund, began rallying.

I sat in the car

a few times in training.

It was awesome.

Our contracts forbid

this kind of stuff.

There is athree page list of

forbidden things.

So I competed under a false name,

Teukka Salama.

My first car was a Ford Escort RS2000

.

Next year I rented an

Mitsubishi Galant for a race.

Then we bought a

Mitsubishi Lancer Group N -

and in Jyvskyl, we finished a

race for the first time.

Then Marcus Grnholm gave

us his Toyota Corolla WRC.

We could run it at 200 km / h

in Ouninpohja.

I drove up the hill

and only saw the sky behind it.

The co-driver said "slow down" -

which I did,

but we still flew high.

The front wheels hit the ground first

and the back end just bounced.

We drove on the front wheels

for 10 to15 meters.

Luckily, I had the wheels straight.

Otherwise we would have been in the ditch.

The public prosecutor may bring charges

against Teemu Selanne for his car accident.

Kalervo Kummola loves rally

and has often been a co-driver.

It is our common hobby.

Pekka Huolman called and told

that he would go and train -

on a closed road near lkaalinen.

Team Europe had

organized training days.

I asked if Raimo Helminen

and his son wanted to come.

There were five people in my car.

We were told to stop the

training after nine at night.

It was ten to nine.

I said we'll go now.

I wanted to drive the course

both ways once more.

He wanted to run first

so he didn't have to eat dust.

He would wait for us

before he turned back.

I had a friend with me.

We drove to the other end in the normal rally style.

I turned and started

to wait Kalervo.

It was three or four to nine -

so I thought that he probably won't come.

I was going to run slowly.

My friend said how good the traction was.

I showed him -

how good the grip was

and how powerful the brakes were.

Teemu was so enthusiastic -

that he forgot our agreement.

I totally forgot

that Kalervo was coming.

There was a small crest.

Normally I would have run

at approximately 150 km / h

It was the only place

for three kilometers -

where you could not see

the oncoming traffic.

The car jumps about 20 meters high there.

There are three jumps on the route.

I was under the biggest one

when Teemu came flying.

When the car took off -

I saw Kalervo's car 30 meters away.

The only thing I remember -

was a windshield with the text

"Toyota Corolla".

When we landed

there was nothing I could do.

I think I saved us

by turning the car sideways.

My car flipped over twice

and ended up in the woods.

Kalervos car stopped quickly -

but the blast was a lot

harder for them.

The car caught fire.

I had time to think:

"Did I survive the crash

to burn to death?"

I jumped out to

check out Kalervo's car.

There were five people in it.

Everyone seemed relatively okay.

Everyone was in shock.

I lost my heel

and broke my arms.

Raimo Helminen

got internal injuries.

The recovery took all winter.

My brother-in-law broke his knee.

I realized what I had done

and collapsed on the ground.

I nearly fainted.

Teemu also contacted the Heavenly Father then.

We had a guardian angel

because nothing worse happened.

Given the circumstances,

we got off pretty lightly.
