Mini-Herbie
Hi All,
Anyone know the name and contact details for the owner of the mini-Herbie who made an appearance at the VW Sydney Showdown drags on Feb 22nd? I spoke
to him briefly but in the hectic pace of running the show didn't get a chance to follow-up at the end of the day. PM or email if you know the mystery
man….
Cheers
Craig

That's Alex Micakovski, Sydney-based Club Veedub member who also owns the genuine Disney Herbie. There was an article on his mini-Herbie in the March
2013 issue of Zeitschrift:
http://www.clubvw.org.au/march-2013
It's a genuine Disney-built miniature that was used in Herbie Rides Again (the Alonzo Hawk dream sequence). Alex has posted footage of the
mini-Herbie's first startup on YouTube:

I don't have Alex's direct contact details, but if you email club secretary Bob Hickman (secretary@clubvw.org.au) he can look them up on the
database and pass them on.

I know Alex and have sent him a message about this thread, hopefully he should get back to you soon.
Call stockers boring if you want, but VW sure sold a lot of them that way
