Well, let's see... Nokia makes cell phones, Rapala makes fishing lures and such 
like, Amer
Wilson I don't know anything about, Hakkapeliitta are studded snow tyres, 
Martti Ahtisaari
was the tenth President of Finland, Mika Hakkinen is a Formula One race driver, 
Hannu
Mikkola and Tommi Makinen are (were) rally drivers and  Teemu Selanne, Jari 
Kurri are
hockey players. Mikkola drove a 2000 Roadster to a 9th place in the Monte Carlo 
Rally in
1968, so I guess it would be him!
