Question: Hi Don, I was trying to find a contact us link on your blog, but I was unsuccessful.
Anyway, I was searching Google Images for a specific Hot Wheels car. I stumbled across your photo on your old blog and saw that you had it. I am really interested in trying to find the name of the car. I am looking to purchase it for a friend.
That’s the image, from the left it is 8th car down, 4th column over. Futuristic orange/red/chrome one. Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated! :-)

Answer: Well, Justin, It’s a strange request but I’m always interested in extending a friendly hand out to the Internet world.
I took that photo a long time ago, so had to dig in my son’s large set for the car you’re looking for. It’s a “Wild Thing” Hot Wheels, 2002, Malaysia, in flake orange, designed by Larry Wood. It has 3 wheels, 2 on the front and 1 on the back, so here in Canada it would be licensed as a motorcycle.
The first photo shows what looks like grey scratches on the front left quarter panel. These are actually reflections from the road surface. The photo is 2 times the car’s actual size.
Almost his complete collection of Hotwheels
