Hello from the Netherlands MCS R53 JCW 06

Hiya,

My name is Andy and I am from the Netherlands. I am new to this Mini game with an 06 R53 MCS with Works package (210bhp). I like to work on cars and choose cars specifically to learn from them (in this case: supercharger). The MCS is a projectcar/weekendcar for which I have plenty of plans. But first things first, it needs supercharger service (100k service).




My daily car is a Volvo S80 2.4T with a 2.5l turbocharged lump (about 240bhp). Before that I drove a Renault Clio RS Phase 1 (169bhp) and a Seat Leon 1M 20VT with 261bhp.


The Clio RS (very fun little car!)


Seat Leon 1M

Hiya, thanks for the warm welcome!

I just learned that the wing is kinda special indeed I didn't know that beforehand. It gets mixed comments in real life. Some people like it, other think its too much. I love it, and that is most important haha

Also: we miss a specialist store like you guys here in Europe!
