Brilliant pictures, Phil 
A decent camera is on my list, but there's a number of things above it, unfortunately.

Skahigh, i think it's Talbot Green Shopping Park . . . well that's what i could make out on the sign!!
Nice Pics Phil. I really need to buy a tripod and look into the settings of my camera! After all it cost a bundle! All I do is press Auto then the button to take a picture! lol..
Love the 2 30sec Exposures at the end though! - A desktop for me too! Cheers!

looks goo mate, loving this one, think thats about as good as you get it due to the exposure times, its always gonna leave a bit of the bonnet in the air, thats why i went for a close up picture of the engine bay, so you couldnt really see the bonnet open much
looking awesome though mate, i love using the extra long exposure times, make the car look so shiney, as every little bit of light and reflextion gets picked up! some good shots
Nice one mate, bonnet trick shot dosnt look too bad at all tbh. I found having an uber long exposure time helped but in order to not let too much light in and 'wash' everything out i used a black card (sat nav leather wallet) to hold in front of the camera while i shut the bonnet. Which also eliminated the risk of getting any of me in the shot too.
Heres the some data for the following pic:
Shutter Speed 30 sec.
Aperture F/22
IS0 Speed 100
I think the key is just to play around with the exposure times of both before you close the bonnet and after you close it. I think i may also have used the flash in order to help light the engine bay a little. Been meaning to do one of the door too, to expose some of the interior through it.

Your exif data shows 6sec exp @ F/2.8 I went for a longer exposure with a smaller aperture in order to give me more time to run around and close the bonnet. 6sec must have been quite a rush!
Interestingly, Photoshop can yeild a good result too... (not mine btw) Tripod, 2 images, one with bonnet open, one closed. Merge desired parts in Photoshop.
