Nice pic, tell me.

What camera kit do you use?
How much post processing did you have to do?
What car mounts do you recommend?
Do you use a polarising filter?
What did you have for breakfast on the morning of the shoot?

Looks a bit underexposed to me, you should have used lots of fill flash.

sorry

A canon 1ds2 in this case with a 28-70L
A reasonable amount of processing went into this as the background slate pile didnt go all the way upto the top of the frame so had to be copied in and the slate was a lighter colour so some adjustment there...also a bit of sharpening involved.
Ive got a hague rig but i also use my tripod with some clamps quite a lot if im abroad.
I use a polarising filter on pretty much all of my car shots. Its a B&W 105mm jobbie which is an outrageous 184 quid
I used to go for mainly bacon and sausages with a cup of tea. Now its cereal unfortunately as I am on a bit of a weight loss crusade...I quite like sainsburys fruit and fibre ( www.sainsburystoyou.com/webconnect/index.jsp?bmUID=1149864577628 ) but occasionally we run out so I have some backup shreddies. On the morning of the shoot I think I actually ate a bacon bagel as I ploughed up the M6...Im pretty sure i stopped for a coffee and a muffin at a service station on the way as well... anything else?

er .. think that covers it

oh no, just one more. After breakfast, how long is it normally before you need to poo? More impotantly, if out on a shoot what do you do about this.... is it a carrier bag job like the SAS? All that Fruit and Fibre can't help.

By way of advice I think its also best to have a steak in the evening before hand if you need to be on the top of your game...I think rib-eye is probably the one to go for, preferably at a pub/restaurant. I did a launch a while back where I had chicken before and the shots werent as good.
