Anyway, first time shooting the cars with the flash. Not totally happy with the job I've done, I didn't pick a good enough background and i haven't got the technique for using the flash on cars right yet, I tried to just adapt what I did on bikes and it didn't quite work perfectly.
For next time I'm either gonna try and pick up an LED panel and get light painting or try and find a strip box that I can fold down to fit on my bike.

yes bringing your own light source is probably the best way to deal with having no light but that brings with it it's own pains, some general tips that don't require much extra gear or editing would be.
1. Tripod, every time.
2. Clean your front element, artificial light sources, street lights, car headlights etc. will make it flare very strongly.
3. get a lens hood, other street lights will fuck up your contrast.
4. Don't rely on autofocus when it's dark, do a test exposure.
