okay, one of my earliest Herbie's movies was when there was a black Herbie that "destroyed" Herbie, a tow truck tows Herbie away, while Herbie says Help me! any one knows which one I'm talking about? :teddyr:
I found this ...
The Wonderful World of Disney 1997 Season 1
11 : New Herbie The Love Bug
Herbies Lineage is traced back to Germany where the tinkerer who built him left one to many notes. An evil baron decides he must build a new Herbie, an EVIL Herbie! that he can race in America with against the Famous Love Bug! Bruce Campbell is the new owner of the car and has to go back to ask Jim Douglas for help.
The Love Bug 1997 made for tv. The black bug's name was Horace.
No confirmation from O.P., but Solved.
