Hi,
Im broke at the moment and trying differant ways to earn alot of money. I do the transport missions but once ive done them I acidently knock a car and the police take all my earnings away again :(
lol just do 1 from the police then and when u hit a car just drive for like 10 secs without hitting 1 n they go away. i have neva got away from 3 car things and lost like $60k :(!! if i get caught now i loose like £42k on 1 cop thing! :(
Find an easy race, at the beginning it's gonna be 15k max per race but well if it's done in a 1min or 1m30 max it's still nice
At my point when i need money i do a time race, 1min10 max / 50k pretty easy to make money :)

The speed challenges are an easy way to make money too!!!
Once you've reached the target speed, the challenge ends. So you can do a challnge and earn $10,000-$25,000 in the space of around 40 seconds in the right car!!! :nuts:

Car delivery ones are the best IMO... I've done 7 so far and got perfect on all of them, although it's very hard to resist the temptation to thrash the cars you have to deliver. Worth when you see the cash roll in though... I made close to $1M!

Yeah, the only one I had trouble with was that Cobra Concept. It has THE WORSE brakes ever. It's like trying to stop a duck on a frozen lake!!! I think I've done 9 or 10 of those now, they're my favorite, I enjoy the long drives. LOL Shame that there's only a few open at any one time. rolleyesa

Map filter helps but they'll only show if you've drove past them. They wont show if you haven't driven on that road already, or so I believe.

Nice one!!!
Yeah, I've been using the filters already. I think that they open over time.
I'll give it another hour or so and I reckon there'll be some more open.
What you reckon to the Hitchiker missions? I've not done any yet.

They're quite hard actually! I usually drive too fast or cut conrers to make it in time and the hitchiker gets scared and leaves the car. Same with shoppers.
The package deliveries are fun... wonder what's in the packages? :wink2:

yeah but the whole point to those missions is to stay on the road and not hit any cars. i found it easier if you switch to the outside view to see whats coming up (but then againg it dose help that im driving a Jag XJ220 lol)

Can someone take a pic of their paper map so I can see the grid, or would that be copyright violation?

Did you not get one free with your game?
I only have a camera phone so it would look **** + it probably is against some rule or another.

The Alfa Romeo race gives out $75,000 for a 2.8 mile course.
That's what I use right now for cash.
Your opponents are GT 3.2 24V V6s, so unlock the 8C, and it's a walk in the park. Should take no more than 3 minutes.
I love Alfa romeo (MAYBE BECOUSE I AM ITALIAN :p )...it was the first car that I bought...yeah!
I heard there was a race or speed race, which takes 26 seconds, where if you win you get 75k, but does anyone know the name of it?

Vehicle transportation FTW!
On the West Coast (about quarter of the way down from the top peak), the millionaire's challenge, wow.
A whole time trial round the whole Island, do it in under 60minutes and you get $1,000,000 as a reward.
I entered with a tuned up Lamborghini Murcielago (dream car), got half way and thought I may actually do this until I hit the South East part of the Island. Too much traffic getting in my way, and the thought of hitting downtown hmmm. Til I got on the motorway/freeway I regained some confidence and when I got on the West Coast again with pure straight open roads, I knew I may just do it.
56 minutes with a "few" slip ups made me $1,000,000 richer! Sweeeet :updown:
not sure where that is, but the ford race by the airport pays $75k and takes 65 seconds - it has a couple of corners though, lol :)
i prefer the millionares challenge or car delivery TBH
