The first two are wonderful - looks like the Camaro caught all our eyes and the Ford GT looks great from that angle!
I'm also impressed with numbers three and four - great job handling all the reflections under those lights, I failed miserably in that task. Just a shame the "model" is wearing a Vauxhall badge...
I preferred Danny's version of the Suzuki to be honest, the headlight was the sexiest part of that car and you've shaved it off.
Finally the Brabus; I'd have probably liked this one better if the headlight had been in focus rather than the trailing edge of the wheel but I do like the angle and the composition.
All-in-all very impressive! Just like your other half you did better than I did indoors - get any good outdoor shots?

Thanks for the comments. I had great fun taking these shots, and as cars really aren't my thing, wanted to try and look at them differently. My aim with the Suzuki was to highlight the pink areas (after all, I am a girl - "sexy headlights" really?), so I was trying to show the indicator light and pink in the wheels in the same shot. I personally like the abstract flavour to that shot.
I too, was disappointed about the brabus headlights not being in focus. Showed it to Danny on the mac before putting up here and he said it was a cracking shot. Personally I find the oof headlights a distraction, but I liked the composition so that's why it's here. I loved the silky look of the matte paint job - a lovely idea!
The only shots I took outside were of Tow-mater (Danny posted his shot of that) and my boat (yes, one of the bigguns!)But those shots didn't make the grade with me, actually had better results indoors!
