Hey Gang,
I finally accepted delivery of my new toy 6/16/06. All I can say right now is "wow".
I will be reporting on my first weekend with the car shortly, but here are some preliminary shots to look at. There is one more modification that needs to be made before he's ready for his close-up. I have a set of OEM Style 166 wheels in my garage ready to accept a team of Michelin's this coming Wednesday. Then it'll be ready for prime time.
I'm trying to look for things to comment on that haven't already been mentioned before in other owners reports. The one thing I will mention now is how much attention this car gets. I've experienced everything from the double and triple-takes as you drive down the street and sit at lights to the group of guys walking up and closely admiring it in a parking lot.
Okay, here are a few of the shots. The rest are in the Landa220's gallery. I hope I get this picture attachment correct.
See you all soon.

Thanks. My salesman kept mentioning how his service manager loved this car with this interior, 50% tint and the Aero Kit.
I told him I'd be back in a week (to pick up my license plates) with my wheels as well. Wait 'til he see's it then!
Thanks again

Thanks. Just wait until I can Zaino it. Then it really will shine.
My Aero Kit was just painted last Monday (6/12/06). The shop said wait 1 month, Sal Zaino said 1 week should be fine to seal it after painting.
In any event, it'll be done soon and then the shine will be "elbow deep".
