 The judges of the race, Donny Shotz (Micky Dolenz), Alex (Alexandra Wentworth), whom Hank used to date; and Simon, find it hard to believe that such a tiny car could run so fast, and Alex challenges Hank to prove that he didn't try any tricks during the race in order to win.Hank takes Alex for a ride, showing Herbie's speed, and their relationship is re-kindled (with Herbie driving them to an isolated area and locking his doors, as he did with Jim Douglas and Carol Bennett in the first movie).Meanwhile, Roddy tells Hank that Herbie is special, and takes him to an automotive art show.
