Mistakenly souped up what appears to be a Prius, all blinged up and insured before I realised. Stuck with it for the time being.

How do you insure the cars?

I still havn't even tried to get onto online yet so I havn't a clue how to do that either.

I've not saved any blinged up cars, only blinged up 1 which appeared to be some AMG Merc. No idea how to go online either.

when you go online that's when the insurance option becomes available. It's all dead simple, you get walked through it.

Did the infamous Trevor mission the other day, and as unpleasant as it was, I still really like him. He's by far the most interesting character and I love the way he talks.

Has anybody else noticed that different cars start appearing the further you get into the game?

On the older games, they were area-specific. You'd only ever see a handful of car types in a given area as they could only hold so many models in memory at once. Whether that's true of V I don't know, but it'd make sense.

Taking a while to rank up online and earn money - going to take ages to be able to afford apartments, garages and decent weeapons. Looks a bit too skewed towards those that want to pay to get the extra money.

Battlefield has the right balance - lots of weapons / extras to unlock but you still start off with decent weapons that dont put you at much of a disadvantage compared to those with better ones

The cars are the same through out but certain areas have different cars.

The freeplay is not ranked so there are those blinged the game modes are ranked to a set skill level. Battlefield I reckon is worse as you can play someone at the top of the rank when your at the bottom.

Although if I'm honest I think me doing at least 80mph through a built up area might have had something to do with it.

Don't be silly, speed is not at all dangerous.

I think that may be the case Cougar. I have also noticed that in the hills during the day there are lots of estate cars loaded with luggage but at night there are loads of boy racers in ferraris and GT40s etc.

Don't worry about being stuck with rubbish cars in online, once you fit a tracker to a car it replaces your existing saved car.

You can do it online or bring up your GPS and select ATM, on PS3 there's a quick access to your GPS by holding select.

I might of shot someone as well... If it was anyone from here I'm sorry, was curious as to what happens when you die online & didn't fancy committing suicide...

I chose a Vauxhaull Ampera as my car for the first race. Not fast enough to win but I came a decent second.

Thankfully my saved game issue seems to have resolved itself and I'm back on the main campaign and having great fun. The shoot the plane down mission was brilliant, but I did find landing the crop duster in the cargo plane in the following mission so impossibly difficult that I had to skip that section. I think I'll stay off the online action for a little while just in case there are further game save issues.

I'm confused.

On the iFruit app / website, it reckons my Betta shares are worth about two million and climbing, but in-game (single player) it's showing about £100,000.

Dunno whether to keep them any longer or wait. Hm.

The two plane missions mentioned above were great.

I still havn't managed to keep the Fighter Jet. I came really close last night but crashed while trying to land it as there was a squad car on the runway!

A quote from Trevor driving past some cyclists.

"Think you own the road, don't you, pedalling pricks. "

Can you set up your own missions? Can we have cycling deathmatch?

I'm sure it must be scripted rather than a coincidence, but it played Convoy when I stole the truck as part of one of the story missions. Second biggest laugh of the game for me, that. (Biggest was a Trevor line I probably shouldn't repeat.)

Online last night hilarious.

Missions with others, deathmatches, solo deathmatches.
I kill thE same guy about five times in two minutes. He kept respawning right in front of me.

Its brilliant, I shouted to the wife but she'd gone out.

It must be, I was erm, delivering another character to their death in the boot of my car and, while chatting to them, this came on:

...highlight of the game 😆

Requested an invite.

Any tips for ranking up fast? Haven't read this thread in case it contained spoilers.

If you're not reading the thread to avoid spoilers, how are you going to see the tips for ranking up fast?
Seriously though, for a thread running to 30 pages there are very very few spoilers and a good many top tips. There's one big spoiler though, so scan lightly over any talk of the ending.

Ranking up fast will involve doing jobs and playing missions, I got a big boost for deathmatch.

What a good reason for me to get online, thanks Drac.

I was going to hold off until I had finished the main game but I can't pass up $500000 virtual or not.
