    _**TV budget but better story, plus the Dark Herbie (actually Horace) and Alexandra Wentworth**_ Herbie is apprehended by a new owner (Bruce Campbell) who is surprised that the unintimidating Volkswagen can win races and do amazing things. A malevolent rival (John Hannah), who initially mocked Herbie, now wants it and therefore hatches a scheme to use Herbie’s creator (Harold Gould) to create a new version of the magical car, but the results aren’t chippy. Kevin J. O'Connor plays the mechanic, Alexandra Wentworth a racing judge and Dana Gould the villain’s associate. "The Love Bug" (...
