OMG the coolest shirt ever.

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

Yes, it was...
 
I always wondered if 53 on Herbie came from VW racing, or if it was just
made up.
 
I googled it, http://members.aol.com/lovebug547/53hotel.html:
"To all Herbie owners- Aren't you happy that we didn't use Ferrari? Herbie
was named after a character I used in my ski routine in Las Vegas. ' I only
ski with Herbies.' The foolish thing I did was not want to do the sequels.
Fifty-three was chosen because 54 was a series on T.V. and 55 was the speed
limit. 

What a coincidence...
 
Peter

I think the 53 was Herbie's number wasn't it?  That was fairly significant
pop cultureness.

	It's not a VW site, and the Scirocco 2 is known to look like the
DeLorean. 
	
	53 being the Scirocco model no...
