I guess that's why Potshot has become popular again - you always start in the same place (as with Coveted, Crystal Clearout II and III, Coasting and all the other non-contact missions). You do with Trash Talk as well, but your car stays where you were. Odd.

Are there any other decent paying missions where you start at the proper place when selected from the Start menu?

Anybody played one of martins missions called 'holed up - burton' recently? The guy you are meant to escort to his house has had some serious trouble getting into the driveway / mission end trigger every time I've played biggrin

So, with assistance... It's possible to get a Marqis most of the way up the lower rover that runs off the large lake in the middle.
It's also possible with assistance from a Cargobob to place said boat at the top of a mountain...

It's also possibly the slowest thing to take to the high seas... hehe

Has the grapple point changed? Last time I tried was at the top of the mast, and it kept disconnecting if the heli wasn't perfectly flat.

No sadly frown

It's still at the top of the mast, makes for interesting times if the heli gets skitterish

As the pilot of the cargo bob, I can confirm the grapple point is still top of the mast, and it's a pain in the arse trying to keep it steady with rain and wind the whole way up Chilliad

I'm sure I saw a video ages ago of a plane (possibly a Titan) landing on 5 boats which were in formation. Very cool.

Should be on a bit tonight.

Kahonies, lack of ability just makes it funnier biggrin

Adam, I shall find it. Not going to be easy to replicate I imagine... Ah, found a vid of him landing a Shamal on the blimp. That's story mode only, isn't it?

Well it's been awhile and I can only join you guys in between work these days!

Fortunately for me I had a weeks work in Dallas, Los Santos (LA) & San Fran.

I must've looked like a crazed lunatic driving and riding around La at the weekend as I recognised so many locations!

Couldn't resist taking a few pics of some....

Santa Monica Pier...



Heading into West Hollywood, sure we had some shoot outs at the bar on the right!



I definitely remember getting my Bifta stuck on these steps at the end of the Pier...



I see the Los Santos police were keeping an eye out...



Glad to see my Sandking was where I had left it....

As long as you went to the correct apartment at the end of the day! I've seen a lot of side by sides between game and reality and it is very similar!

I got the World Record award last night - thought it was a glitch and on looking at the Social Club website, the race I got it on doesn't show any times on the leaderboard even now. So do a couple of laps of Panto-monium Microcircuit if you're trying to get that award. It's a verified race so you should be able to find it in game, no need to bookmark it.

So, to embrace our deep inner redneck, we took a bus, a cargobob, 2 pick ups and a trailer up Mt Chiliad and drank loads of beer.
We also discovered that one of the pick up's doesn't have enough grunt to tow a tiny trailer up the hill, so that was slagged off.

Also, Myself and a mate are coming to London from 25th-30th Sept, a few of us are meeting up for beers, can throw this invite out to others, bar Jim and Ned who will be too busy absailing to join us.. hehe
