I too got a forward with these pics a long time ago. An old friend of mine, whose dad is a very well know industrialist was planning on something like this for his family and was seeking DC's info. Dippy should be able to provide us with info if this thing materialized.

Default House on Wheels!

I think RVs have really become the lap of luxury abroad, i don't know how far this would be viable in India, usually actors do have their's while shooting on out door locations but nothing like these am sure. Like the Merc going under I guess thats the first i have ever seen. Auto designers really have put the thought into action. May be because of the market there and the demand. Roads is India are not suited for low Mercs let alone a Bus with the Merc in its belly!

The bus (or should i say palace-on-wheels) is truly mind blowing!! And the SLK, no word to describe that. Loved the red paint job.

The bus or the car? I hope its not the latter. I wouldnt want such a lovely car to be a lab rat in this experiment.

Yes it is there but That V is not like the Volvo V, I think you can understand what I am trying to say, Even the steering wheel Boss does not have the Volvo Logo.

Whatever, the machine is really awsome.
