Well after a very short time googling i found a way to limit something on the internet connection on the PS4 to put me in my own public freeroam (which some of you may have stumbled into this weekend!)

Been doing many crate jobs for decent money, you can't do anything else though really due to limiting your bandwidth, i.e. joining anything!

I've had the same problem as you, Martin - and I've also found that when delivering crates with a couple of people in your organisation, the fiddling with MTU settings can cause them to leave the session. Not ideal!

Having set my MC business up full of supplies to earn me money while racing last night, it was a total pisser to get a call from LJT a couple of minutes before the start telling me it was being raided. I thought I had better head over there, so went to the yellow circle whereupon cops shot me from all sides immediately (they weren't visible on the radar until I triggered the yellow circle); I died, and you don't get a second chance so the cops closed down my weed farm taking all my supplies and accrued progress (probably about $30k worth at that point, so not as bad as it could have been). I now need to do a setup mission to start it going again.

On Saturday morning I did a couple of supply missions in between doing CEO work (Headhunter, Sightseer) and selling cars. During the time I made about $200k, my weed business value went up not much more than $20k. It might be passive income but it's slow, and the risk of losing everything while it's building up, the time taken for delivery, the time taken re-supplying and the $2,400 per day cost of having it make it seem pretty poor value for the investment. If you haven't already, my advice would be don't bother buying an MC business. Do get a clubhouse though (without any expensive upgrades) because the ability to spawn a bike without a cooldown timer is useful.

I've got the Meth Lab, Coke lab and Weed farm all fully upgraded now and it makes a decent amount of money. It's constant work to do it on your own with resupplys and selling before it gets to be too big of a delivery to manage by yourself. I still find it more fun than CEO/VIP stuff though.

Only downside is that it makes rubbish xp. I think I might let the supplies run down then close them down. I'll run VIP to level up and use the biker stuff to grind for money if/when I need it.

I was going to wait for the MC club facilities to come on offer before buying them (i do have a clubhouse though) but now im not so sure! i may buy one in the future but the CEO stuff with a small warehouse is doing me ok at the moment! i can sell 16 crates (although some people say its better to sell 9 a time solo) without a problem.

I'm up to about 1.8 million, starting from 200k after buying a car Ive been after for a few months!

I don't think I've ever gone into the last race of a playlist in a position to, all luck on my side, actually win...evidently I like racing bikes!

I've sold entire an medium warehouse on my own a couple of times - but I've been lucky never to have the sale mission where you fly a Titan and get chased by armed helicopters. Doing a few deliveries round town in a big truck, then going back for another, is a piece of cake.

Sorry I lost my temper and threw the toys out the pram guys, I really should have been better than that. Did figure it was better to take up on Eased's offer and go if I didn't like it rather than stay and whinge though. Are you guys still alright with me hosting a playlist this Sunday?

Aw, did I miss drama? I didn't have my headset on for the races I did as my missus was talking to me laugh.

Merely me losing my temper again over nothing important. I got frustrated because I thought Eased had planned this playlist out well, but it turned out he'd not realised the first one didn't have bikes, and he hadn't bothered to make a balanced list of the bikes available (again, shouldn't have been a huge issue but I was bitter) so if he had just opened it to choppers in general everyone would have just picked the Cliffhangers. Then he made them GTA races which was awkward in bikes because you fall off your bike and make a mess in the road for people to hit. So I got angrier and angrier and then snapped at Eased, at which point he told me if I didn't like it I could leave. And since that's what I say a lot to Cheshire when he's acting like an entitled tt I figured the least I could do was do what I always hoped he'd do and just left to stop my whinging.

Sincerest apologies go to Crafty for shooting him off his bike after I hit his body, that was definitely un-necessary but I was just so angry. I think I'd missed my anti-depressants too that morning though it's still no excuse.

That cliffhanger is quick isn't it. Lucky my hamfisted cornering kept it competitive laugh.

I notice I was jumping about in race no.5 - did I seem laggy to anyone else? Wondering whether the settings on my replacement router need fiddling with.

It was normally the nightshade that took the top spots in most the races though.

I'm guessing the Nightshade is generally quicker through corners. It felt quite like a sports bike when I had a wee shot of Alex's.

my cliffhanger didnt have a turbo... yeh, thats why i was slow! laugh

also, theres a trick, not sure if its faster though... but ping the "handbrake" to kick the rear end up in the corners to slow down and turn in tighter.. well in theory... it sort of worked..

Nothing, it's rental cars only. Stock ones, and R* made tracks. So far the ones I've done with Glade and Joyrider are:

Track: 8-Figure Bonus
Vehicle: Defiler (12 right from Akuma)
Estimated Laptime: 1.00 (10 laps)

Track: Crossing Paths
Vehicle: Street Blazer (12/13 right from Injection)
Estimated Laptime: 1.20 (8 laps)

Track: Boots On The Ground
Vehicle: Chimera (8 right from Akuma)
Estimated Laptime: 0.40 (12 laps)

Track: On the GOH
Vehicle: Raptor (6 left from 9F)
Estimated Laptime: 3.00 (4 laps)

Track: Panic Stations
Vehicle: Hakouchou Drag (17 right from Akuma)
Estimated Laptime: 2.10 (5 laps)

I'm assuming we'll get the Youga Classic and the Vortex tomorrow so I might add those in too.
