AS much as I'd like to paint a Morris / Mini Cooper or an Escort, I can't resist sending my VW Beetle "Herbie" that ran at Jungle Falls last year.

- Very Nice! Your in with Herbie. — Bent_Rod_Racing
- Cool little symbol....I get it! (0\(53)/0) — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Hahaha! just hit me! — Bent_Rod_Racing
- Thank you. I've loved Herbie since I was very young. I've got a few other cars to paint up as other "star cars" such as Mr. Bean's Austin Mini Cooper (currently a pink Matchbox from a few years ago) and a variety of others but Herbie is still my favorite for racing. I doubt it'll advance past the first race but it's going to look great as it loses. I've been using the single line of text characters to draw Herbie for at least 20 years.. probably longer. — Billys_Midway_Racing
- Plenty of time to work on Her, It won in the Movies! — Bent_Rod_Racing
- It's very clever. — Dutch_Clutch_Racing
- Hey Ocho! — Skid_Marks_Diecast_Racing
- HA!! Skid_Marks knows his Herbie movies! — Billys_Midway_Racing
