I think the kid in me has emerged

I WANT ONE!!!!:bounce

Che Castro ·

Looks interesting, shame its NASCAR where they go round and round and round and round and round... 😀

VWMA Editor ·

It will do plenty to help keep the popularity of the air-cooled scene happening. NASCAR racing, although best described by Australians as racing with the steering lock still on, is huge in the states, so plenty of people will flock to see it.

I also think it's quite ironic that Volkswagen of America have been so determined to squash their air-cooled heritage in order to advance new car sales, and yet their own country produces a movie to re-kindle the whole thing again. Could only happen in America. Good value.

hmmm.... methinks herbie replicas would be an awesome short-term investment right about now

bugboymatt ·

I'm sure there will be some new replicas hitting the scene soon !!! just hope the ricers / chavs don't get hold of em and ruin it..................

Herbie ·

MikeM ·

Hmm, it's not as cool as the original herbie. But I spose he had to be modernised a bit.

Freddie Fender ·

Looks like something to take the kids too. All I need is an excuse.

VWFOOL ·

I agreee, but why didn't they use Raders or Fuchs or even Porsche cup wheels a-la Das?

Herbie ·

I've heard people say the plot is ridiculous, to which I respond, So was the plot of all the other movies.

mscabrio ·

What do you mean that the plot is ridiculous ???????

Isn't Herbie real ??????


I agree, all the Herbie movies have been silly, but thats the idea hey ?

I can't wait to see it

The original Love bug was more interesting where they did rally - at least there was some kind of adventure. Not like oval racing hehe

It looks great. I saw the trailer at the cinemas last night when i went to see "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" (An awesome movie, been ages since i saw a great comedy)

Yeah, it is crap that its NASCAR, but dam that late beetle looks like a ripper. I hope im the next guy to come across herbie and race with him. "HA, its funny on the movie trailer when Herbie's checking out the girl New Beetle" (I'm not sure if that part is on this trailer URL that the poster provided) but it was on the one at the cinema.

bond ·

oh.. its there...

Andy ·

OK any VWDCQ members out there with the details of the Herbie movie night at Stafford (june 18)????

What I have heard (unconfirmed, so please give better details if I'm wrong!) There is a cruise from Newfarm to Stafford, priority parking for VW's at cinema, cinema reserved for VW drivers showing new Herbie movie. Also there's fancy dress and prizes etc???????

Also heard you need to pre-book a place.

Some info please as I would like to make it along to this one
Cheers,
Richard

ColumBUS ·

there is an official herbie at the drive in run coming up soon, will talk to murray about dates and times, will be there with bells on along with every other vw owner and enthusiast in nsw

VWMA Editor ·

Contact Samantha Seymour from the VWDCQinc on 0412 164 335.

Andy ·

Sam was at the BLBVW club meeting last night so got the low down,
Looks like most of the details were pretty right (how unusual).

Their meeting New farm park ~3:30pm Sat. 18th June, hoping to start cruising to Stafford ~4pm or soon after (not 5pm as originally advertised). They will do a ~30km cruise to get there with some media en-route to take piccies which should be fun.
You DO need to prepay and looks like it will be closed very soon, so get in now if you want to join in! $9 adults, $6.50 kids
So far they have filled one cinema, and are hoping to either fill a second, or the "large" cinema there.
There are also prizes for the best fancy dress and best done up car (all in Herbie theme).
Sounds like a great night and well organised with plenty of fun. I think some of the food places there (at Stafford) are also offering cheaper meals, and there should be time for a quick bite before the movie ~6 or 6:30 I think.

There are also a couple of media setups planed on the Wednesday and Thursday night prior at Mt Gravatt and Chermside respectively. There will be a few VW's there, so watch the news or go look if you’re a local.

Saw a news article, they are digitally making lindsay lohan less busty, as american testers said it was to raunchy for small children.

Its a herbie movie for crying out loud, how can it be raunchy!!!

billholmes ·

My dad and i are building a Herbie replica but it's a baja
Does anyone else have a Herbie baja?

[Edited on 10/6/2005 by billholmes]

Andy ·

Given the number of VW's turning up, is there much room at the meeting point in Newfarm?
Have to give the beetle a wash before hand and stick on some '53's 🙂

BiX ·

iam not sure, that was my concern, but the decision was made, and we have to deal with it. I think iam mena to be helping getting cars all lined up, as we want herbie's at the front, then beetles, then kombi's, ghias etc.

but a day early in winter in brisbane, as an inner city park........ should be heaps of parking 😠

Andy ·

😀
Imagine when all those "herbie's" get that wicked streak in there eye and start to muck around. Good luck organising them 😉

So is that real herbie's or anything with a 53 on the side?

Andy ·

😉

What a great night!
Congrats to the organisers, I think we all had fun.
The cruise got a little disjointed in the city traffic, but hey these things happen.
🙂
