    Mercedes GLK Roadster

    Lisa found this vehicle in the Sept/Oct ‘03 issue of TruckTrend - more info should be online at http://trucktrend.com soon under Features. Sure looks like a VX-02 with a retractable hardtop and 4WD.

    I read about that online a few months ago...

    It was custom built for Jim Rogers about 3 or 4 yrs ago, so he and his fiance could travel the world with it and write a book about it.

    'Adventure Capitalist'

    They started the trip in 1999 and traveled over 150k miles through 116 countries in 3 years. - they made it into Guinness Book or World Records.

    I noticed in that picture that they neglected to show the trailer attached to the back of it.

    No, they just cropped it, you can see it on the left.

    Yep, I want one of those! SLK with ML running gear.

    DB would sell these hand over fist if they had the cajones to build em. As it is they are trying to pawn the '97 SLK with a new body as a great new sports car
