Welcome to the forum Dutch. It sounds like your car is "Sapphire Silver Blue" (very popular color here in the U.S.) The interior is called Cedar/Slate (my personal favorite).
I tend to agree with ala_xfire, since you enjoy turning a wrench, you will probably find yourself making a few mods. Installing a NeedsWings CAI alone will cut nearly a 1/2 second off your 1/4 mile.
Good decision finding a 6 speed. I enjoy mine so much more than the automatic.
