Hi,
These are great images - technically spot on and the locations good too. Bare in mind that you photos are only as good as the worst part and to get the best you have to make sure everything is perfect! Personally I'd make a couple of tweaks to the composition but they are a good effort without an SLR.
If I were being picky I'd say the exhaust should be clean and dry and I would have tried to minimise the graffiti on the road, the bouy in the sea and the bright puddles.
Depends on how much time you had to take the pictures I suspect! If you have plenty of time try using a tripod to slow things down and examine every detail in the viewfinder.

As a set I like these but I feel they are not consistent enough. Compostion wise, the fence in the first two is quite distracting for me but other than lots of cloning in PS there isn't much you could do about that.
Exposure wise they are all over the place - this should be easy to fix though in PS.
The sky in first one looks overexposed to me, and could do with an ND grad filter to darken it a little. To my untrained eye the exposure for the car looks about right.
In the second one, the car looks too dark, again maybe a grad would have helped here.
The exhaust one would have been much better if it was clean!
The one with the bridge in the background is my favourite, but again looks underexposed. Finally the last one the highlights on the car are a little blown out, so it's overexposed slightly. If you look at the last two images on the screen together you can see that they don't really look like the same car, which highlights what I'm trying to say.
With all the greys in the car and sky I guess your camera was having a hard time metering these! If it were my set, I'd spend some time in post processing getting the exposure to look the same across the set, and then they will gel together much more nicely.
All just my opinion of course, you may like them as they are and disagree with me - as long as you like them that's really all that matters!
