Some great photo work there.

There's a VW car show at Stanford Hall this weekend. I doubt there will be much high end stuff there but there might be a few unusual cars.

Or at the end of May there is the Crystal Palace Motorshow if you fancy a day in London. There is always a very wide range of cars there from 1930's stuff right up to supercars and a lot of them are doing the time trials that you may be able to photo.

They are some lovely photos :)

Whilst not super catrs I have access to various classics kicking about the place;

Jensen Interceptor MKIII (currently in paint, hopefully done next few months)
MGB GT V8 (currently in build, hopefully done by Aug)
Range Rover CSK
Couple of old Daimlers

Not really what you're looking for but I'm only up in Derby if you're stuck for something to shoot :)

Adam, I'd invite you to take photos of the Corvette if you don't drive into the back of me classic OcUK meet style :D

Currently awaiting my Zr1 wheels being refurbed in shadow grey colour and it would be great to get it shot when they are on and I've lowered it slightly.

My friend took this on Chelsea Bridge, London

...snip...

I use a combination of techniques for my tracking shots.
1) Car to car tracking, shooting hanging out of a boot (R8 and Scirocco)
2) Stick on car rig
3) Static shot of the car in the scene, then a 'plate' without it which is blurred to look like it's moving. The car is then added back in and the composite is built up using photoshop.

...snip...

ahhh crafty! see with the scirocco I totally imagined someone leaning precariously out the boot and close to the road with a buddy holding on to them for their life xD and knew there would be some sneaky photoshoppery in there somewhere. looks ace though :D

just had a look at the link as well.... my lord!!! hanging that camera so far off the car.... really gotta pick your location and make sure there's nothing coming xD risky business!!

It was at 1am on a Saturday evening. I was in a convoy of 25 cars which parked up down the bridge. I also noticed the yellows too, but apparently at that time of the night they open up the bridge for parking? I dunno, we were there for 15 mins or so for photos and then off we went..

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you guys, was in Switzerland last week on a shoot so have been off grid.

You can shoot my Bentley and Scooby STi, they both have matching colour schemes and number plates, you'll have to drive one though!

The Bentley is definitely of interest, what's the model and spec?

Okay, promise not to stop just over the crest of a hill then yeah? ;) Also if I drive the Benz I'm not sure there will be much more of your Corvette left should it happen again. The crash protection on that is a massive washer bottle so you can clear the screen when you've vaporized the car in front ;)

There's no photoshoppery (other than colour correction) on the Scirocco picture. I was hanging out of the boot of the car for that one...didn't have any one holding on either!

2014 F10 M5 if you come London way :)

Monte Carlo Blue

Great stuff, drop me an email so I have your details :)

Manchester, so might be too far for you. Hopefully not :)

Not at all, only an hour and a bit up the M6.
