    I haven't seen this movie since I was a kid, I didn't realize how many awesome cars are in this movie.

    Even a Yenko Stinger!

    I got my girl friend the Herbie box set for Christmas so we have been watching some of these over the last few weeks. I already have Le Mans and Grand Prix

    Awesome. They showed that movie at my school on PTA night or some E36 M3e when I was in 1st or 2nd grade.

    Wow--yeah I haven't seen that since the early 80's.

    Didn't Herbie fall in love with a Miura?

    For even more vintage awesomness, watch "The Love Bug."

    That's my buddy's former Stinger... and I passed up the chance to own that Scorpion a few years ago...

    Walt Disney also did a cute vintage rally movie set in the UK called "Diamonds on Wheels" about the same time ('74) where some kids rally an MG TC and get involved with diamond theives; don't think it's ever been released on DVD
