Herbie
The last Herbie film is on tv tonight in Italy.
Of course I'm going to watch it again  Real Disney nostalgia.The problem as discussed over dinner with husband, beloved offspring, her boyfriend, Milu and his gf, the blonde bombshell - There's a new owner in every film - who on earth owning a car like Herbie would give it up? I understand it's necessary for the story but couldn't it have been done differently? I would also have preferred Disney using a 356. Starts in 45' I'm preparing the nibbles.

Since seeing the first one as a kid I am crazy about all things air-cooled and German. Go figure. Have not seen the last one..

As a kid, it was my favorite movie also. Dad always had a Beetle in those days, the last one being I think a '75 or '77 red convertable.

The traditional VW bug is just a flat-out cool car.

The old one was always a favorite. The new one with Lungs Magilicutty makes daddy smile.

Why? Have you ever seen her up close? Not worth the digital memory, which I can even erase.

The a few of the real Herbies (there were multiple cars) had 356 running gear and engines...

Is she a nice person to be around or a brat? I do not follow movie stars too close but she looked good in the movie.
