Nice set Kman, I do like your processing style. How much retouching goes into these images - I'd imagine the interior for example isn't as clean as it looks?
Fortunately not too much time on cleaning up in retouch - the car was pretty thoroughly cleaned beforehand inside out. 
Love the sag! Here's an edit for you: https://we.tl/eowI315L3X

That is a great photo.Might I ask what combination of lens and shutter speed were used for this pic before I go hanging out of the window of the car on the motorway?
Edited to add I'm guessing it was somewhere around 1/125 @ f/4

How can you possibly guess that?! Might I ask what combination of lens and shutter speed were used for this pic before I go hanging out of the window of the car on the motorway?

It's all relative depending on vehicle speed and focal length so don't take the numbers too seriously. If you want to give it a go, match vehicle speeds (would probably recommend 30-40mph to begin with), go as wide/close as you can and stick the camera in shutter priority at something like 1/80s as you don't really need to worry about the aperture. Then test and adjust from there, slower if you want more blur, faster if you want a higher success rate.
On UK roads it can be more pot luck than skill so don't feel disheartened if you struggle at first!
