Thanks heaps for your ideas, I will try that today. Just to clariry a couple of things:
Which setting do you keyframe to make the road move without it sliding off the bottom of the screen?
In your example clip it appears like the back wall of the tire is moving too, it looks great, I was wondering how you achieved this? Possibly the same as the road?
I greatly appreciate the time time you have taken to explain and demonstrate this.
Cheers
Matt
