I own; Malibu,Film studio, misc save points, Kaufman Cabs, Printing, Pauls, Strip Club, Ice Cream, and Boatyard(All the $ making ones)

Also, how do I do the hotring racing thingy?

Thanks

Ok, so how do you participate in races? I showed up at the arena and did the moto obstacle course, which was a hoot, but how does it determine if I do that, blood ring, or nascar? Also, does the same apply at the dirt bike track? Do I just show up at 8:00 for a race?
They rotate, each night is a new event. They dirt bike track you just show up and jump on the bike.

Where is the Sunshine Auto's Asset?
You have to steal the cars on the lists to activate the asset list for the Auto showroom. $9K/day when complete, plus you get the Hotring racer, Sandrunner?? 4x4, and the little crx-looking thing.

You want to have fun, collect all the secret packages. Getting all 100 activates the Apatche Attack Helicopter at the base. 90 activates the tank. Use either to complete the "Vigilate" level 12 and get body armor upped to 150.

To win the street races, bring a rocket launcher to the game. Blow up all 3 competitors with one well-placed shot, run the course at your leisure.

So far for me, the hardest mission was "Keep your friends close." I'll give hints if anyone wants them. One tip, MP5 with a boatload of ammo. If you're wondering why there are some many health and armor power-ups around the V mansion, it's for this. At least it was that way for me.

Ok, since most of you probably have GTAIII as well I am posting an "old school" question that has me stumped.

I am on the mission for the corrupt cop in the park where I need to throw a grenade thru the window and I just can't get it to work, I have tried standing on top of the tallest trucks and other things and still can't throw the damn thing in the window.

Would appreciate the help as I just got pissed and gave up, can't get VC until I beat III.

bboersma, just stand in the lot below the window. keep using the button that swings the camera view behind you. Line up your back with the window, then hold down the "fire" button to throw as far as possible. Move little by little, shouldn't take more than 4 or 5 tries to line it up. Note, Park the Barracks OL truck in the alley so the getaway car can't get away.

For the street races, there is a pink mission indicator down by the garages in back of the dealership. Once you buy the dealership, you can do the races. BTW, the little crx thing is a good car do win the races with, the hotring racer is the best car to win with.

Question,
Has anyone finish "PCG600 Playground?" There's one blip I can't seem to get at the end. After you go thru the little underground shopping area where the police bribe is, I can't get that next blip. It seems like you have to jump the bike onto those apts, but I can't get close to getting that high.

GTA3 - "I am on the mission for the corrupt cop in the park where I need to throw a grenade thru the window and I just can't get it to work"

Rocket launcher makes this cake, just one shot in the window, and one into the garage below the window when it opens. Otherwise, get a lot of grenades, stand pretty far back, look up, and throw the grenade as far as you can. Watch it, as it may bounce off the building back towards you. You might have to get close enough that you risk getting hurt if they bounce back, but with a little practice, it is doable.

GTA:VC
"Where do you do the races at? What loc. on map?"

Enter the pink circle to start the race. Follow the map to the airport for the first race.

Unrelated Note: I was able to finish the missions story with just the Taxi Asset, Ice Cream Factory, Print Shop, Boat Shop, and Mansion. I definitely did not have the Malibu or the Car Dealer, and I am pretty sure I didn't have the Film Studio, but somewhat hazy on that one.
