Anthiron - August 24th, 2004 at 01:59 PM

HotRodMatt - August 24th, 2004 at 02:03 PM

VWoA will probably sue them if you can see the roundell in the advertising pictures!


VWFREAK - August 24th, 2004 at 02:05 PM

Anthiron - August 24th, 2004 at 02:32 PM

lil dub - August 24th, 2004 at 02:37 PM

urgh. i know. i have a vague-ness problem though.
i have to write things down more often i think. apologised to brett but seeing as i feel so bad still that means you have to satr in HERBIE THE MUSICAL to make it all better.

HERBIE,HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE, HERBIE AND HERBIE SHIT HAVE I HEARD THAT WORD ALOT OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS. ;):);)

I hope it's better then the last Herbie movie. Anyway, they can't really use an NB as Herbie, maybe his younger cousin.


Flying VW - August 24th, 2004 at 07:15 PM

That movie made in 1997 was Border Line OK. A lot of people bagged it, but you have to remember it is a Kid's show.
I watched it with a self confessed Herbie INFOMOLOGIST and he bagged the Story line and how they changed the History of Herbie. So I told him it's a kids show and they wouldn't know any better, but he still kept ARGUING with me. :cussing he was very enraged :) hahaha


Canni. - August 24th, 2004 at 07:23 PM

hhehee I like watching the Herbie movies... yeah the story line does get a bit dodgy... but most little kids haven't seen the original herbie so wouldn't even notive... will be interesting to see whether they use the old herbie or a new beetle...


Flying VW - August 24th, 2004 at 07:41 PM

It will be a Old Beetle for Sure.
Besides Herbie isn't going to be very good if the Windows and Door locks are jammed, and the Actors catch a Cold because the Seat warmers aren't working.

:beer


blutopless2 - August 25th, 2004 at 07:23 AM

nah..... have heard its gonna be a new beetle... :thumb:thumb

hahahaha.... relax people... only stirrin... lol :)

have heard it will be the "type 1" ... with lots of new beetles included in the story line.


Flying VW - August 25th, 2004 at 08:19 AM

I've heard, that these cars are waiting to be made into Herbies for the Movie.


warb - August 25th, 2004 at 09:29 AM

Flying VW - August 25th, 2004 at 09:53 AM

Will this link work...? I was emailed it a while ago.


baybuscamperkid - August 26th, 2004 at 03:30 PM

thats an amazing number of ragtops in the one place! hopefully they dont destroy too many:cussing


vwguru - August 26th, 2004 at 04:00 PM

hopefully it is the old beetle with a scat engine so they dont have to use computer edits to make him do a wheelie. wish they had of said when it would be released.


mscabrio - August 30th, 2004 at 04:28 PM

I have started chatting on http://www.newbeetle.org.  A member on there claims to be actually working on the movie as we speak (or type). He says that the original styling Herbie will be used, but with a twist. The movie will be set now and will also feature the new beetle ....... best of both worlds if you ask me ...... herbie and his young brother !


Flying VW - August 30th, 2004 at 05:55 PM

Yeah that's what I heard, if you look in the back of the photo I posted you can see several yellow new Beetles. :)
