Perhaps it was my grandfather who changed our name from the original Iso-Haaro which never had any dots over any letters. So, I believe the other Roger Haro's last name is pronounced (English pronounciation) HAY-ro, while I pronounce mine as HAW-ro. Does that make any sense?
Thank you for putting up with English-speakers such as myself. I so wish I could speak Finnish. Unfortunately, my father was the baby in the family and they no longer spoke Finnish at home when he was growing up. However, I do have two friends here who spoke only Finnish when they first started school. One of them gets along very well when visiting Finland, while the other has unfortunately never been there.

Welcome to pages mnpoika!
Mnpoika? Does it mean mammanpoika?
Maybe you first want to see generally our activities during the years, then go to "galleria". There is lot of photos and at the end of the title page also videos.
You send me very interesting photos from your racing days, and I am sure these people are very happy to see them also!
Welcome Roger!
Are you familiar with these?
