Yep, head to the small blue dots that pop up on the map now and then.

Whiskey and GTA5 for me tonight, wonder how many cars i'll total?
Did you know you can still "hang out" with your "friends" in this game? None are quite so annoying as Roman though. You can even get the main characters to hang out together biggrin
I took Franklin and Trevor out for a drink after a mission. Anyway, the moral is, drink in game, drink irl, then try driving.
Also I was driving an artic drunk. Still got away from the cops too redface

eta: one time as Trevor I had a blue dot appear near the airfield, went to see what it was and there's a camper parked out in the desert. Be careful of this one.

I came across a security truck, nicked it then spent ages evading the police and losing the two stars as its so slow. Finally lost the stars, drove to an empty parking lot, got out, stood well back and lobbed a grenade into the back of it as one door was missing.

It blew the remaining door off straight into Franklin, killing him dead.

I love the random blue dots that appear and the unknown mayhem that can ensue

O/T - No-one was annoying as Dwayne. Miserable attention-seeking git.

Driving around the Northern parts of the map are always an experience. If it's not rednecks it's bikers shooting me in the head at every opportunity.

I was going to start the hunting side missions for Cletus and came across a drug meet gone wrong. 4 or 5 trucks and dead bodies everywhere. Found a suitcase with $30k in it. Sweet. Jumped back in my truck and when I got to the hunting location, jumped out and before I had a chance to react, had two bikers zoom past and shoot me in the face.

Woke up in hospital minus the $30k frown

I dont know if anyone has spotted it yet - but I found a helicopter with easy access. Where you drop cars off for the repo missions - there is a police station next door and on the roof is a chopper. If you walk down the side of the building you can jump up on various things to get to the roof and then fly away.

I was really happy to finish Dwayne off, almost felt like I was helping him out!

I was trying to carjack someone last night, stood in front of them as they drove up and took aim.... they sped up so I started shooting, missed them and got hit, flew up onto the bonnet and then onto the roof, still shooting, managed to hit a random passer by in the head!

Thanks for that!

Trevor has puchased the air strip on sunny sands and this has facilities to save a chopper! smile

In that case, don't bother with the Police chopper - steal the Buzzard attack chopper from the Govt. Database centre in the hills. - You can easily nick it without triggering a wanted level via the ladder on the side of the building, plus: there's an RPG right next to the landing pad too. wink

When you driving around the little map will flash and then there will be a blue dot, sometime red dot too.
The blue dot is who needs help, the red dot is who you need to go after.
You then choose if you want to return or keep whatever.
I got a woman her purse back, had $2k in it and when I gave it back she gave me a $100.
Shot her in the face and took the money back off her, ungrateful bh.

Whereabouts is this database centre? Having a Buzzard could come in handy!

Patience and lots of switching thumbup
Probably best to do it shortly after a mission as they split up.
