If I remember right(haven`t seen it in about 15 years!) there was plenty of Cobra & `Vette action in the original Herbie film (was that one called "The Love Bug"?) Herbie was obviously a 1500 Beetle, no way would the 1200 have blown off those Cob`s & Vettes!!!!!!

Gumball is definitely my fave though......I`m desperately trying to get hold of a good VHS (PAL, for UK) copy but the prices! I`m not paying $40-50 for a 70`s ex-rental!
Favourite sequence is the 'self-repairing' Cobra getting off the Freeway, into the River & out again.
AND of course, Raul`s(Franco) chat up techniqueinsert italian accent here!)
