Nice story you got there Igorionia, seems to me you had a blast out there.
Now; to answer all your questions
Lens: 70-200mm f2.8 VR.
Most of the time I shoot in AV-mode I tend to turn away from it when I'm shooting fronts like the SLK and Porsche Cayman.
The iso speed I used is 200, this is the highest my Nikon can go. I'm not bothered with shooting on 400 and even a little lower 500. Lots of people think that these iso speeds produce horrible prints but they are just fine. I once made a 90x70cm print of a 500 shot and it was veri sharp and very detailed as well, so no probs thusfar.
Shutterspeed alternates from 1/100 till 1/80. On the other hand for the front shot I tend to go for at least 1/1000. For these shots I almost always use the lens in combination with a 1.7 teleconverter. That's when you need the right amount of light. The lens will turn into a f4.8 and take into account that you will have to go for high shutterspeeds; this combo will make you lose quite some light.
Cheers
