Thanks tabstabs
All shots are done at Amarfi. The B&W shot was crap in original form because of the crappy sky texture. I would put gradient over the sky usually but it came with the ugly clouds, so I turn that into B&W to hide that crap
Later putting cloud filter with 2% noise in softlight mode plus a B&W gradient layer in screen mode (I think). Finish it up with level adjustment to give out best detail and contrast 
The tone thing I usually adjust with gradient mapping and put that into overlay or softlight mode. Then using level or curve to adjust the b&c on the photo. Basically it is equivalent to colour filters but you get more control over the shadow, midtone and highlight. I often go with dark indigo and light yellow combination for the gradient mapping (very realistic). For the 2nd thumb I have used brown and light yellow combo to get that vintage/sunset feel. I usually adjust it couple times until it looks realistic to me. I mean no strange colour tone unless I am trying something artistic. I am working on a tutorial for applying this technique. Meanwhile I can learn more skills with Adobe Indesign
Glad its a compliment TF

Thanks everybody for the nice comment
The 3rd shot I spent more time on it but the result is just so-so, maybe too blurry when I taking it. First 3 verticals are quite lots of work, and did lots of undo to get them right, but there are still room for improvement but I prefer not to overdo the shot. I guess I spend less than a hour for each of them. Well glad you like them 👍
I spent about 30mins to finish the first one. Adding motion blur, gradient mapping, satuation and level. The original already have little motion blur on it. I didn't even clean up those door lines, but it already kicks so much @ss and I love it so much. Thanks to the red/pink trees from the background.freddy86

The 2nd FTO shot is brilliant. I love the colors, and what appears to be the stock GT4 blur is excellent.👍 The others are very nice as well.

I like the size of the car in the first pic, it's a rare sight, it could use a bit of cleaning though.

amazing shots franz! my favorites are the the FTO shots, the simplicity of the 2nd motion blur picture makes the picture extremely cool 
i hope u have a clean up crew theres going to be a big puddle of drool, follow the trail of drool and u should be able to find it
