Looking good 
A couple of tips for night time pics:
- Invest in a tripod, it'll be well worth it
- If there is a source of light in the picture then set the aperture high, then it doesn't blow the lights out really badly and you get this effect: http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/9156/DSC_0097b.jpg
- Set the ISO low to prevent grainy pics
- Don't use the flash because the numberplate will be well over exposed and the rest of the pic will be dark. It looks like you haven't anyway but doesn't hurt to mention it.
Nice camera you have there btw  Nikon FTW

You know what, I thought that looked too good not to be taken with a tripod No offence intended of course!
No worries though mate, just play with all the buttons and try stuff out. I quite often take several of the same pic just trying out settings etc

Unfortunately you have to get used to people staring when you do things like this When I was out taking pics including that one I linked to, several peopel cycled past and were staring at me like I was weird Tbf I was stood around next to the camera because of the long exposure

Blue dials were in it when i got it, and have been in it since ive known the car from 18k, now on 52k so there doing good *touch wood*
Cheers Monster, no engine mods atm, want to save and get it all done at once instead of little bits, not much mind, aim is full stainless with de-cat, inlet manifold, fast road cams, and custom map, maybe odd other little things.
Elliott, nope not seen it about mate, but i hardly use the car, go to work and back in it, and to girlfriends and back hence why its only done about 6k in 9months.
