So to clarify, you got those shots doing 2mph?  

Incredible stuff!  

Correct, either crawling along in D with my foot half on the brake or pushing it in N with the handbrake off. You get the sense of movement from the long shutter speed, the car might only move 0.5-1 meter during the exposure.  

Robin... i know what you mean about the lens distortion, even though its only a 24mm lens. I would prefer to use an even wider lens like a 17mm, that way you end up capturing more of the movement. At 650 quid though it wont be on my shopping list anytime soon.

Im pleased you all like the results

Some excellent shots and some excellent photoshopping skills.

Did you use timelapse or wirelesss shutter release to take the pics?
