Based on the latest eBay auction I think the car is #37. The auction that the picture I used is from ended with a BIN for $14.99 and 5 bucks shipping. Yup someone paid $20 for a HotWheel that in a few weeks will be all over the place.
There's another on right now with a current bid of $11.50

Here's a brand new release from Tomica (Japanese matchbox kinda cars).
just got this yesterday from my wife who was visiting relatives.
comparing size with my DigiQ....too bad Konami stopped making DigiQ's
before doing a MINI.
to give you an idea of my DigiQ collection.... im going to look for more in the
used stores next time im down there in Japan.

My latest addition:
1:43 Autoart.
The brake rotors and calipers are separtes parts and the rotors actually turn with the wheels.
The details is just about perfect. But there's a couple of faults. The dash is the older 5 piece design, the tweeters are missing and no antenna. Other than that, it's much better than the one made by Minichamps.
1:43 Autoart
I got the green cabrio and the blue Cooper S a while ago. The white bonnet stripes on the coupe were added on. I'm planning to add a set of black stripes to the red cabrio later.

I just completed a Fujimi S model kit. Color is orange with an iridescent clear coat. The scoop, headlamp rings, rear spoiler and front splitter are covered with carbon fiber decals. The sunroof is a single pane of "glass" in the kit, but I cut it and scratchbuilt the underpinnings to make an open roof. My goal was to create the ultimate Dragon Runner!

^^^ Wow nice work! 
I've got a friend really into building models of older cars, lots of research to get everything right and lots of fab work. I admire folks that can do that level of detail.
Me; I measure with a micrometer, mark with a grease pencil, cut with an axe and caulk to fit!

Your comment reminds me of something I saw hand-lettered on the trunk of an old Nova drag racer long ago;
"Measure with a yardstick, mark it with chalk, cut it with a torch"

Hey Bobbie !!!
Need some help

Or leave it alone
Found it at Target today. It was knocked off the peg and on the shelf behind some other stuff. Number on the back is: CKJVUFFH
Still looking for the poptop, but I haven't made it to K-Mart yet, that's on tomorrows list of exciting things to do

I need your snail mail address
I found 2, I think they might be a bit bigger then 1:32, there are no markings. The only info on them is for ages 8+, you qualify don't you?
One is a pearl white with black seat and the other is a metalic BRG & tan seat. The white one has a blue 125 decal on the passenger side of the lower kick plate.
Still no luck find the pop tops, so go ahead and send them Bobbie. After this one, we should just run a tab, it all balances out at some point
I think I'll let me g-son open the Mystery one, he'll be up this coming weekend
