First one could do with a touch more colour, looks a bit faded.
The B/W one doesn't look that good IMHO - it would be better with a contrasting coloured car, like red.
Liked the third one
Liked the fourth one.

It's just a shame you can't lose the fences, and I think the flare shot is a bit overdone.
Gorgeous subject though. Love your choice of colour for the Tiv. Having just ordered a Noble I know how hard it is to choose one, given you can have any colour in the world. Martin.

Agree with all the above.

Somehow there's not enough IMPACT to any of them. IMO that's partly because most are taken with the light on the wrong side, but also because they're all (I think) taken with a standard lens. Try wide angle and getting in closer next time, and adjusting your position up/down/left/right to get the b/g nicely composed too. Move the car if you need to. Or use just a part of the car and go for something abstract and striking.

NB Pic 2 - not inspired by a certain photo of a silver Griff in Sprint by any chance?

Just taken with a finepix S304 and no option to change lenses (as someone suggested) using mxpaint to edit

Well snakes - I think they are pretty good. I would have been well proud if I had taken them - especially 2 & 4. Well done mate.

Good camera that S304. Might I suggest a polorising filter to sharpen up the colours a bit?

or if you have Photoshop you can increase the saturation a tad
