Hello. This is Sander from the Netherlands.

At the moment I drive my daily 2005 MINI Cooper S (R53, supercharged). Every modification and all the maintenance I made by myself. And it's better than fabric now.
A really nice car with 210 bhp (smaller superchargerpulley etc.) Handling is very nice, it drives like a go-kart.
Sounds also really nice with the whining noice of the charger and the pops and bangs.
But....... something is missing, the sound of a flat six.

The MINI is a difficult car to work on, so my mechanical skills are a lot improved the last years. I think i'm prepared for a new challenge. The Porsche Boxster S.

Last week I bought a late 2002 facelift Basaltschwarz in Germany. Tomorrow I'll drive it to Holland.
It's a firsthand Boxter with all the maintenance documented. The interior looks brand new.

I also bought '101 projects for your Porsche Boxster'. Every project I will do by myself. I am not a mechanic but I really like do everything by reading en learning from other people.

First projects:
- IMSB, because it is never changed (single row)
- RMS
- Clutch because it is never changed

I hope to find a lot of information on the forum.

So that's it for now
