You may need to apply a little exposure compensation, say one third or one half a stop in the + direction. We have a Peugeot, nice handling cars. cheers.

Some superb images, especially given that this was your first attempt.

Excellent for your first shots. My first shots were no where near as good as these. You've got a good eye. I have a minor criticism I hope you don't mind. I find the urn in the second photo extremely distracting, since the interest seems to be on the front sections of the two cars, I would have tried to frame the shot so the urn was further back on the Jag so you could catch the front wheel. I especially like the shots of the wheels and the last shot from the tail of the Peugeot.
