From YourSITE.com Entertainment Here's the rest of the
Name:Police Van Most Likely to be Found:In roadblocks Colours found in:White, basic Police livery Speed:4/10 It's a van Acceleration:5/10 But it goes OK Handling:4/10 Not too hot on corners Durability:8/10 It can take punishment though! Looks:6/10 It's cool driving in one of these! It's your basic Police Riot Van, used to take Officers to places where there are, well riots! In real life, they also have a cage at the back where Prisoners go. L3 turns on it's siren. Name:Police Vauxhall Vectra Most Likely to be Found:When you've been misbehaving, which tends to happen all to frequently Colours found in:White, with an Fluorescant Orange/Red Stripe down it Speed:7/10 Hey, the Cops need to keep up with you! Acceleration:9/10 Extremely quick to get to top speed Handling:5/10 Fairly good Durability:6/10 Knows how to take Punishment Looks:6/10 I guess they look kinda cool A good all-round car, and easily the best Police and indeed emergency services vehicle in the game. Unfortunately, you can't see them for love or money in Freeroaming mode.L3 activates it's siren. Name:Prison Transport Van Most Likely to be Found:On the missions "Aiding and Abetting" and "Escort Duty" Colours found in:Grey Speed:*estimate* 4/10 Acceleration:*estimate* 4/10 Handling:*estimate* 4/10 Durability:*estimate* 8/10 Looks:6/10 Kinda cool, it's the type of Van serial killers get put in Basically, I have been unable to capture one and steal it, as in both missions the thing drives off like a bullet, and even if you smash it off the road it will find a way through. At the time, Jake Jolson is contained within the van. Name:Range Rover Most Likely to be Found:East-End, Also south of the river Colours found in:Silver, Brown, Green Speed:4/10 Nothing Acceleration:5/10 Special Handling:6/10 Not too bad, but the vehicle itself is very wide Durability:7/10 Can take several hits before going down Looks:5/10 OK I suppose This is basically a Land Rover or as people from the USA call them, an "SUV" basically it's the kinda thing you'd wantif you lived in somewhere with bad terrain, not in an urban area(even though many people choose to have them in urban areas anyway, which kinda undermines the point of them) Name:Renault Espace Most Likely to be Found:North of the river, mainly Colours found in:Green, Blue Speed:5/10 Nothing Special Acceleration:5/10 Again, just average Handling:4/10 nothing special again Durability:6/10 it's average! Looks:4/10 Average The word average really does sum up this people carrier, I can't really see why anyone would want to drive one, but if it's the only vehicle near you, then go for it. Name:Renault Laguna Estate Most Likely to be Found:North of the River, look around Hyde Park Colours found in:Green, Light Blue, a silverish colour Speed:6/10 Not too bad Acceleration:5/10 reasonable Handling:6/10 Fair Durability:5/10 OK Looks:5/10 This car is just slightly above average, and is Renault's best car in the game. It's one of two estate cars in the game, and if it's the nearest thing to you, then go for it! Name:Rover SD1 Yardie edition Most Likely to be Found:Clerkenwell - Yardie Turf Colours found in:Purple, with yellow wheels Speed:7/10 Fast again Acceleration:8/10 Average gang car really Handling:5/10 OK handling Durability:6/10 OK Durability Looks:7/10 It has a unqiue charm I guess This is the Yardies "Primary Car" and isn't uncommon on the streets of Clerkenwell. It reminds me of something, but I don't know what. The Yardies have souped it up quite a bit htough, and it even has a rear wing. Name:Rover SD1 Most Likely to be Found:South of the River Colours found in:Brown Speed:4/10 not good Acceleration:5/10 OK Handling:6/10 Quite good Durability:4/10 Can't handle big pile ups Looks:3/10 Awful This is just a horrible car, avoid it like the Plague, it looks ugly, and it drives slow. I would forgive it if it was something unique like a Van, or a London Bus or Taxi, but it's just a dull 80's looking car Name:Rover 75 Most Likely to be Found:Southwark (Bethnall Turf)or north of the river Colours found in:Red, green, blue, black Speed:7/10 Above average Acceleration:8/10 Quite good Handling:5/10 Fair Durability:6/10 Can Take a few hits Looks:7/10 Looks like a Jag to me! This is the Bethnall Green Mob's "Second Car" It's basically an average gang car, but an above average road car.The Bethnall Mob use it to kidnap Alex Hammond.It looks quite a bit like a Jag Name:Saab Concept Car Most Likely to be Found:Two locations, the first one is on the bottom floor of the NCP Carpark in Chinatown, which is just south of Shaftsbury Avenue (umarked on map, not Shaftsbury Avenue, the chinatown street) or outside Charlie's warehouse in "The Jolson Files" Colours found in:White Speed:8/10 fast! Acceleration:7/10 Again, quite good Handling:6/10 not too bad on corners either Durability:6/10 It will last a while Looks:8/10 Very Nice! It's got kind of a 1950's vision of transport in the year 2000 feel to it. The indicator/reverse/brake lights at the back are cool! Basically, this is a concept car from swedish manufacturer Saab, and therefore you will never see them on the streets. End of story! Name:Saab 900 Most Likely to be Found:Everywhere Colours found in: A lot! Black, red, yellow well, maybe that's not a lot but that's only the ones I found Speed:7/10 quite fast really Acceleration:5/10 Average acceleration Handling:5/10 It's handling isn't all that bad Durability:4/10 It can take few hits Looks:2/10 It was beaten with an ugly stick This is basically an old-ish car, probably from the late 1980's. It is suprisingly fast for a car that looks and is as old as it is Name:Saab 9-3 Most Likely to be Found:Upmarket Areas Colours found in:Dark Blue, Black Speed:7/10 fast Acceleration:6/10 better off the mark than the Saab 900 Handling:4/10 Doesn't handle very well Durability:5/10 OK Looks:4/10 Like a Brick This is basically a modern looking Saab 900, which looks better(but is till ugly) and accelerates better, that's all I can say about it really. Name:Tank Most Likely to be Found:Inside an area of black fence that stretches down along Birdcage walk, just south of the Queen's house,(well, it's slightly bigger than your average house) Buckingham Palace. Colours found in:Green Speed:3/10 Not all that good Acceleration:3/10 *same* Handling:3/10 like a brick Durability:10/10 LIKE A TANK!!!!!(It goes to black smoke easily, but it takes ages to catch on fire) Looks:6/10 OK, it doesn't have tank tracks, it just has tyres This is well, a tank! Pressing L3 fires it's weapon, which basically causes the same explosions thta oil barrels cause when they explode, a few feet away from the Tank. Often, cars hit by the gun often veer to the right for no reason, so if you are attacking oncoming traffic, they will probably smash into you. It's great fun firing it at pedestrians, and watching as the explosion happens, half a second passes, then the pedestrian gets flung back on fire! This is the last Vice City reference in this section, this tank cannot run over vehicles like the Rhino in Vice City, because it doesn't have tank tracks. So don't even try! Name:Taxi Most Likely to be Found:Everywhere! Colours found in:Black, Dark Green, Maroon Speed:5/10 OK Acceleration:3/10 Not that good really Handling:5/10 Fair Durability:7/10 Will take a hit or 5 Looks:7/10 Like a London Cab! London Black Taxis are always good, but for some reason most of the ones on The Getaway seem to be Green. Unfortunately, there isn't a London Taxi Mode, but the Taxis are able to smash other cars out of the way. Name:Tow-Truck Most Likely to be Found:There is one parked on the side of the road on St. James Street Colours found in:White Speed:3/10 Not good Acceleration:3/10 Again, not good Handling:2/10 Poor Durability:7/10 OK Looks:4/10 Reasonable There may be more than one of these, but I only know the location of one of them. They are often in front of big ramps, which can be used to sent your car up into the air, and if you go slowly you can land on the tow-truck, which is kinda cool. The tow-truck itself isn't really any good. Name:Toyota Hi-Ace Most Likely to be Found:Industrial Areas Colours found in:Blueish-Grey Speed:3/10 not good Acceleration:2/10 poor Handling:2/10 Shameful Durability:5/10 OK Looks:1/10 Like a stretched out Hi-Jets! ugh! Basically, this is a Hi-Jets with an extra panel in the side, it's just an awful looking van, which should be avoided Name:Toyota Townace Most Likely to be Found:Industrial Areas Colours found in:HORRIBLE colours! pale orange, pale green ugh! Speed:3/10 poor Acceleration:2/10 abysmal Handling:3/10 rubbish Durability:4/10 not good Looks:1/10 Like a Camper van version of the Hi-Jets Avoid this one too, I hate Toyota for both of the above vans, or rather the guy who designed them! Name:Toyota MR2 Most Likely to be Found:everywhere north of the river Colours found in:Red, Yellow Speed:6/10 reasonably fast Acceleration:5/10 OK Handling:4/10 Reasonable Durability:5/10 Average Looks:4/10 OK, but slightly too "square-based" You are likely to find these wherever you go north of the river, and you could find some south of it too. These are semi-fast cars, which have a back wing for some reason Name:Toyota Corolla Most Likely to be Found:Everywhere Colours found in:Green, Red, A greyish-Bluish-Greenish colour Speed:5/10 Moderate Acceleration:5/10 OK Handling:5/10 average steering Durability:4/10 Doesn't take a whole lot to send it to the scrap heap Looks:6/10 Not too bad These are found everywhere, and there seems to be quite a few south of the river. These look like they're going to perform better than they do, so don't fall fo it! Name:Transit? Most Likely to be Found:everywhere Colours found in:Several Designs White and Plain(white van man!) Red with Royal Mail Designs Grey with BT Designs (filthy business only) Grey with Fed-Ex designs Yellow and Green with City Link designs Speed:4/10 OK Acceleration:5/10 Again, it's OK Handling:4/10 not too bad Durability:7/10 can take a pounding Looks:5/10 Like a Transit This looks exactly like a transit, but with no Ford Markings on them. Indeed, there is an Oval shape left blank at the front of the van. I think Ford pulled out of the Getaway at one point(I heard the ordinary Police Cars were going to be Ford Fiestas) and as Team Soho couldn't find another similar van they decided to keep this and take off Ford insignia. Name:TVR Tuscan Speed 6 (Me thinks!) Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. the one on the right is the TVR. The second is at the lock-up of Charlie's that Frank Carter raided on the mission "The Jolson Files" Another location, sent to me by Xx Kolchak xX, and as I am very lazy I copied and pasted the e-mail. Sue me. First, I'd like to thank you for the great vehicle guide. It's helped me very well, and I know it takes quite a while to write something like that up. Now, on to the business. I live in Oklahoma, so I have the American version of the game and no map (not to mention a bad habit of driving on the wrong side of the road.) I think I have found another location for the TVR. Start "A touch of class" and drive straight out on to the road that curves a little and decends a bit. Drive past the first intersection, and watch your right hand side. There will be a gas station. Drive in and turn right at the back wall. There is a large black sports car that I have been told is a TVR. I don't know whether it is there on the free roam or not, as I haven't beaten the game yet. I'm not sure if this location is mentioned on your guide, but It isn't on the TVR section. (as I said, someone told me it was the TVR, I'm still not sure.) I hope it helped, and if it didn't feel free to verbally abuse me in a reply I was tempted to do this, because verbally abusing people is always great fun, but as he was nice about the guide, I let him off. Colours found in:Dark Blue Speed:9/10 Oh yes! Acceleration:9/10 Vrrooom! Handling:6/10 Fairly good Durability:5/10 OK Looks:10/10 Stunning! just stunning! This is my favourite car and probably the best car in the game. It's no secret that Liam drives one and also that Charlie has one stashed at his garage at his house in mayfair. The only TVR in the game is stunning! Name:Vauxhall Astra Estate Van Most Likely to be Found:Hyde Park, NCP Carpark Colours found in:Blue, Red Speed:5/10 OK Acceleration:6/10 quite good Handling:5/10 OK Durability:6/10 reasonable Looks:5/10 Not too good My dad used to drive one of these, only instead of being a van, it had the windows at the side of it rather than paint, making it a car. It's the kind of thing electricians and plumbers would drive, if you ask me Name:Vauxhall Vectra Most Likely to be Found:DC Carter's earlier missions Colours found in:Silver Speed:8/10 Carter Chose a good car! Acceleration:9/10 a very good car! Handling:5/10 reasonable Durability:6/10 good Looks:8/10 Very Slick! This is DC Carter's undercover Police car, it looks and drives good. It has a siren, which is activated by L3. ***************************************************************************** 4.0 Emergency Vehicles These are all vehicles used by the emergency services, and all have pretty sirens that can be activated with L3! And as I am doing it in the same way, I might as well include the little thing and example thing. All cars will be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something) Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it? Also, I will include what emergency service uses them Name: eg Steamroller! Most likely to be found: eg In the River! Emergency Service:Mountain Rescue Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if I don't know them all!) Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it? Acceleration:eg 2/10 damn slow off the mark Handling:eg 1/10 Like a dead Whale Durablity:eg 10/10 It'll take a fair few hits Looks:eg 5/10 Like a Steamroller! The Steamroller is a car. Well no, it isn't. I wouldn't really use one to escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do. And with no further wait, here they all are! Name:Ambulance Most Likely to be Found:Around the Hospital(usually in pairs) which is on Tottenham Court road, if memory serves me correct Emergency Service:Ambulance Service Colours found in:White, with ambulance insignia on it Speed:4/10 Not all that fast Acceleration:3/10 Again, it isn't exactly a Ferrari Handling:3/10 Not all that good Durability:7/10 It knows how to take a hit Looks:4/10 Ambulances are ugly, but I guess it's cool driving around in one. This is an Ambulance! they are driven only by paramedics. You can also activate the siren with the L3. It's ironic because in one of Carter's missions where you have to take Joe to the hospital, Carter says "I won't wait for the Ambulance" even though when you go down the road, there's loads all driving together. Name:Fire Engine Most Likely to be Found:On Disturbance in Soho, a bit down the street from the Republic. Emergency Service:Fire Brigade Colours found in:Red, with Fire Engine Insignia on it Speed:4/10 Won't get to every fire on time Acceleration:4/10 no wonder they're on strike! Handling:3/10 not all that good! Durability:9/10 It's a nice Behemoth in this department though! Looks:5/10 Fire Engines are kinda cool Basically, it's a vehicle in which firefighters clamber into to go out and put out fires. Unfortunately, there are none on the streets, so they must all be on strike, heh! (Firemen have been on strike in the UK recently in case you didn't know)It has a Siren though! Name:Police Peugeot 306 Most Likely to be Found:All over the City Emergency Service:Police Force Colours found in:White, with fluorescant yellow bands on the side, Police markings. Speed:6/10 OK for a small car Acceleration:5/10 Fairly Average Handling:8/10 Very Nice Handling Durability:5/10 Can take a little bit more damage Looks:5/10 OK, it isn't an especially nice Police Car This is just the basic Partol Car, so don't expect Cops in this to be chasing you for very long unless you are in Free Roaming Mode, but even then you can lose them because they aren't in an especially fast car. L3 activates it's siren. Name:Police Van Most Likely to be Found:In roadblocks Emergency Service:Police Force Colours found in:White, basic Police livery Speed:4/10 It's a van Acceleration:5/10 But it goes OK Handling:4/10 Not too hot on corners Durability:8/10 It can take punishment though! Looks:6/10 It's cool driving in one of these! It's your basic Police Riot Van, used to take Officers to places where there are, well riots! In real life, they also have a cage at the back where Prisoners go. L3 turns on it's siren. Name:Police Vauxhall Vectra Most Likely to be Found:When you've been misbehaving, which tends to happen all to frequently Emergency Service:Police Force Colours found in:White, with an Fluorescant Orange/Red Stripe down it Speed:7/10 Hey, the Cops need to keep up with you! Acceleration:9/10 Extremely quick to get to top speed Handling:5/10 Fairly good Durability:6/10 Knows how to take Punishment Looks:6/10 I guess they look kinda cool A good all-round car, and easily the best Police and indeed emergency services vehicle in the game. Unfortunately, you can't see them for love or money in Freeroaming mode.L3 activates it's siren. Name:Prison Transport Van Most Likely to be Found:On the missions "Aiding and Abetting" and "Escort Duty" Emergency Service:Police Force Colours found in:Grey Speed:*estimate* 4/10 Acceleration:*estimate* 4/10 Handling:*estimate* 4/10 Durability:*estimate* 8/10 Looks:6/10 Kinda cool, it's the type of Van serial killers get put in Basically, I have been unable to capture one and steal it, as in both missions the thing drives off like a bullet, and even if you smash it off the road it will find a way through. At the time, Jake Jolson is contained within the van. Name:Vauxhall Vectra Most Likely to be Found:DC Carter's earlier missions Emergency Service:Police Colours found in:Silver Speed:8/10 Carter Chose a good car! Acceleration:9/10 a very good car! Handling:5/10 reasonable Durability:6/10 good Looks:8/10 Very Slick! This is DC Carter's undercover Police car, it looks and drives good. It has a siren, which is activated by L3. ***************************************************************************** 5.0 "One-off" Vehicles Vehicles that only appear in certain missions and no-where else are here. Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something) Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it? One more thing, a "Mission appeared in criteria" will appear instead of "most likely to be found" Name: eg Steamroller! Mission Appeared in:eg Land of Hope and Glory Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if I don't know them all!) Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it?

And with no further wait, here they all are! Name:Fire Engine Mission Appeared in:On Disturbance in Soho, a bit down the street from the Republic. Emergency Service:Fire Brigade Colours found in:Red, with Fire Engine Insignia on it Speed:4/10 Won't get to every fire on time Acceleration:4/10 no wonder they're on strike! Handling:3/10 not all that good! Durability:9/10 It's a nice Behemoth in this department though!

At the time, Jake Jolson is contained within the van. Name:BT Transit? Mission Appeared in:Filtyh Business Colours found in:Grey with BT Designs Speed:4/10 OK Acceleration:5/10 Again, it's OK Handling:4/10 not too bad Durability:7/10 can take a pounding Looks:5/10 Like a Transit This looks exactly like a transit, but with no Ford Markings on them. Indeed, there is an Oval shape left blank at the front of the van. I think Ford pulled out of the Getaway at one point(I heard the ordinary Police Cars were going to be Ford Fiestas) and as Team Soho couldn't find another similar van they decided to keep this and take off Ford insignia.Basically just a BT repair van. Name:Vauxhall Vectra Missions appeared in:DC Carter's earlier missions Colours found in:Silver Speed:8/10 Carter Chose a good car! Acceleration:9/10 a very good car! Handling:5/10 reasonable Durability:6/10 good Looks:8/10 Very Slick! This is DC Carter's undercover Police car, it looks and drives good. It has a siren, which is activated by L3. ***************************************************************************** 6.0 Hidden Vehicles "The 10 Hidden Vehicles" are here, shame there's 12 of them really, I guess we'll never know which ones are supposed to be the 10 secret ones until Team Soho tells us. I have my suspicions about some, I think it's most likely to be the Daihatsu Jets Pick-up and the MKII Roadster. Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something) Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it? Name: eg Steamroller! Most likely to be found: eg In the River! Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if I don't know them all!) Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it? Acceleration:eg 2/10 damn slow off the mark Handling:eg 1/10 Like a dead Whale Durablity:eg 10/10 It'll take a fair few hits Looks:eg 5/10 Like a Steamroller! The Steamroller is a car. Well no, it isn't. I wouldn't really use one to escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do. And with no further wait, here they all are! Name:Daihatsu Hi-Jets Pick-up Most Likely to be Found:2 or 3 places in Hyde Park. One of them is at a depot of vans, another is behind a few trees and a smallish building on next to a path. I think I found a third location, but a) I can't remember where it was b) it could have just been the second one Although Hyde Park is a maze, I know that I always stumble across them at some point or another. Colours found in:White, with Royal Parks insignia. Speed:4/10 Perhaps a bit faster than the Hi-jets van Acceleration:2/10 very slow starter though Handling:5/10 reasonable Durability:5/10 again, it isn't all that bad Looks:2/10 but only because it has grass/leaves in the back! This could be a rare vehicle, although I know that I have stumbled across them during missions. They can't be seen driving around, and are basically a Daihatsu Hi-Jets modified into a pick-up truck. it has grass/leaves in the back though! which is a good thing, maybe. At least that feature is unique! Name:Golf Buggy/Cart (whatever you want to call it) Most Likely to be Found:It's in the northern Area of Hyde Park, near a set of crossroads. Just follow the yellow path until it is crossed over by a grey one, take the grey path down till you get to a set of crossroads, and it's to the left, in front of you hidden behind a group of bushes. Colours found in:White, with insignia on the small door Speed:6/10 not too bad when it gets going Acceleration:4/10 it's a golf buggy, don't expect it to be a Ferrari Handling:4/10 It's small Tyres mean it has low grip Durability:3/10 Can't take all that much either Looks:4/10 Like A Golf Cart This is the only one of two times I intend to mention GTA Vice city in this section, so bear with me. It's exactly like a "Caddy" From that game, except this one has a door. Basically, it's for transporting Golfers and there equipment around courses, not hardened criminals on the run from the Police and an Army of gangs! Name:Go-Kart Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. Look in the garage(do a 180 from where you entered) and look in the corner. Colours found in:Um, I can't give it a colour really. Speed:7/10 Not Bad! Acceleration:7/10 Nice for a go-kart Handling:4/10 like the Golf Buggy It's small Tyres mean it has low grip, but this adds to the fun! Durability:3/10 don't expect to collide head on with a Double Decker and come out the better off of the two! Looks:7/10 It's a Go-Kart! very nice! It has an invisible door! spooky! This is a great, original idea, and I like it, especially it's crazy handling. It's not wholly an ideal getaway car, because It can't take many hits, but it could squeze through gaps in traffic easily! Name:Lotus Elise Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. Look in the garage and you will see it. The second is at the lock-up of Charlie's that Frank Carter raided on the mission "The Jolson Files" Colours found in:White Speed:9/10 nnnniiii Acceleration:9/10 cccceeee!!!! Handling:6/10 not all that bad! Durability:5/10 can't take a lot of hits! Looks:9/10 Sweet! First thing:It has doors like the Delorean in Back to the Future, in that they open vertically, and Second Thing:Second mention of GTA Vice City out of three, it looks just like an Infernus This thing is FAST! it's a very nice car to cruise around in, because it looks so cool, and also it's a good getaway car too. It and the TVR seem to be Twins, they always follow each other around, except in one place, no wait, two places where the TVR is on it's own. Name:Lotus Espirit Most Likely to be Found:If you head along Marylebone Road, in the district of believe it or not, Marylebone. Head West along this road, and a little alley should be on your right, which is where a certain car is Colours found in:Silver Speed:8/10 Good Acceleration:8/10 All Lotuses have good acceleration! Handling:5/10 And Fairly Good Handling Durability:5/10 But can't take much damage! Looks:7/10 They always look good though This is another Hidden Lotus Car(One more still to come!) and it's basically a typical Lotus for all the points which I just summed up, a nice car if you want to just cruise the streets of London. Name:Lotus 7 MKII Roadster Most Likely to be Found:You start with it in Free Roaming Mode Colours found in:Purple Speed:8/10 Fast Acceleration:9/10 Fast Handling:4/10 Nicht zu gut Durability:3/10 doesn't survive many hits Looks:8/10 Slick! This is called a "roadster" but I cannot see how! I think I can honestly say that other than on The Getaway, I have NEVER seen one on the roads! It's more of a racing car, really.In GTA:London (not a reference to the modern version) it was called the "Locust 7" So I guess it could have been on the streets in 1969, but now it is 2003, so it's unlikely that there are any on the roads today. Name:Nissan Skyline GTR Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. The white one on the left is the Skyline. Colours found in:White Speed:7/10 Fairly Fast Acceleration:8/10 Quick off the mark Handling:5/10 OK, there are worse than it Durability:5/10 Again, there are less durable cars Looks:6/10 not too bad! The Skyline is a fairly fast car, and is fun to race around London in. It also makes a good getaway Vehicle. Name:Peugeot 306 "Boy Racer" Most Likely to be Found:If you go to Horseferry Road(J14) on the south side of this road is an alley leading to a small underground car park with some burnt out cars in it. The boy racer is hidden behind a wall and is tucked into a corner Colours found in:Yellow Speed:7/10 It's been Souped up! Acceleration:7/10 So what do you expect? Handling:8/10 Good handling Durability:4/10 Shame it can't take much damage Looks:7/10 So Cool! Well, it's a good imitation of a Boy Racer car, what with the Spoiler and the Speakers in the back and everything! This is probably the best of the three Peugeot 306's, but I wouldn't ever consider showing off to your mates in a REAL boy racer car, because everyone laughs at boy racers! At least I do. This isn't a pure Boy Racer car, it needs to be an older model of car Name:Saab Concept Car Most Likely to be Found:Two locations, the first one is on the bottom floor of the NCP Carpark in Chinatown, which is just south of Shaftsbury Avenue (umarked on map, not Shaftsbury Avenue, the chinatown street) or outside Charlie's warehouse in "The Jolson Files" Colours found in:White Speed:8/10 fast! Acceleration:7/10 Again, quite good Handling:6/10 not too bad on corners either Durability:6/10 It will last a while Looks:8/10 Very Nice! It's got kind of a 1950's vision of transport in the year 2000 feel to it. The indicator/reverse/brake lights at the back are cool! Basically, this is a concept car from swedish manufacturer Saab, and therefore you will never see them on the streets. End of story Name:Tank Most Likely to be Found:Inside an area of black fence that stretches down along Birdcage walk, just south of the Queen's house,(well, it's slightly bigger than your average house) Buckingham Palace. Colours found in:Green Speed:3/10 Not all that good Acceleration:3/10 *same* Handling:3/10 like a brick Durability:10/10 LIKE A TANK!!!!!(It goes to black smoke easily, but it takes ages to catch on fire) Looks:6/10 OK, it doesn't have tank tracks, it just has tyres This is well, a tank! Pressing L3 fires it's weapon, which basically causes the same explosions thta oil barrels cause when they explode, a few feet away from the Tank. Often, cars hit by the gun often veer to the right for no reason, so if you are attacking oncoming traffic, they will probably smash into you. It's great fun firing it at pedestrians, and watching as the explosion happens, half a second passes, then the pedestrian gets flung back on fire! This is the last Vice City reference in this section, this tank cannot run over vehicles like the Rhino in Vice City, because it doesn't have tank tracks. So don't even try! Name:Tow-Truck Most Likely to be Found:There is one parked on the side of the road on St. James Street Colours found in:White Speed:3/10 Not good Acceleration:3/10 Again, not good Handling:2/10 Poor Durability:7/10 OK Looks:4/10 Reasonable There may be more than one of these, but I only know the location of one of them. They are often in front of big ramps, which can be used to sent your car up into the air, and if you go slowly you can land on the tow-truck, which is kinda cool. The tow-truck itself isn't really any good. Name:TVR Tuscan Speed 6 (Me thinks!) Most Likely to be Found:Mansion on Bayswater road, just follow the road along until you can go south, keep going and you will see what I can best describe as a "rounded" road, which has a blue-ish fence next to it. There s a gap in this fence, go through it, along the path until you get to a mansion with two sports cars sitting outside. the one on the right is the TVR. The second is at the lock-up of Charlie's that Frank Carter raided on the mission "The Jolson Files" Colours found in:Dark Blue Speed:9/10 Oh yes! Acceleration:9/10 Vrrooom! Handling:6/10 Fairly good Durability:5/10 OK Looks:10/10 Stunning! just stunning! This is my favourite car and probably the best car in the game. It's no secret that Liam drives one and also that Charlie has one stashed at his garage at his house in mayfair. The only TVR in the game is stunning! ***************************************************************************** 7.0 Gang Vehicles Vehicles that are driven by gangsters are all listed here Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something) Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it? Name: eg Steamroller! Most likely to be found: eg In the River! Colours found in:eg Pink, Brown, Orange. (any I know of, I can't list them all if I don't know them all!) Speed:eg 6/10 it goes quite fast, doesn't it? Acceleration:eg 2/10 slow off the mark Handling:eg 1/10 Like a dead Whale Durablity:eg 10/10 It'll take a fair few hits Looks:eg 5/10 Like a Steamroller! The Steamroller is a car. Well no, it isn't. I wouldn't really use one to escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do. And with no further wait, here they all are! Bethnall Green Mob Name:Lexus IS430 Most Likely to be Found:Bethnall Green Mob Turf, ie South of the River Colours found in:Silver Speed:8/10 It has to be fast Acceleration:8/10 because it's a gang car Handling:4/10 a bit ropey Durability:7/10 It takes a bit of punishment though Looks:6/10 Better than the IS200 This is the Bethnall Green Mobs "Primary Car" and is suprisingly able to take a fair amount of punishment before giving in. Name:Rover 75 Most Likely to be Found:Southwark (Bethnall Turf) Colours found in:Red Speed:7/10 Above average Acceleration:8/10 Quite good Handling:5/10 Fair Durability:6/10 Can Take a few hits Looks:7/10 Looks like a Jag to me! This is the Bethnall Green Mob's "Second Car" It's basically an average gang car, but an above average road car.The Bethnall Mob use it to kidnap Alex Hammond. Collins Gang Name:Lexus SC430 Most Likely to be Found:Collins Gang Turf, ie Soho Colours found in:Dark Blue, White Speed:7/10 Quite Acceleration:8/10 Nippy Handling:6/10 It can handle corners OK Durability:5/10 Not too durable Looks:8/10 Quite nice! This is the Collins gang car, and to make up for the fact that they only have one car, it has two colours instead. A nice car on which you can rely on to make an escape 14k Triads Name:Honda Civic Most Likely to be Found:Triad Turf, which is very hard to pinpoint! I think there is one in the underground NCP Colours found in:Green, Purple(If the ones outside the crack house are Accords which I always thought they were, I didn't get a close look really) Speed:8/10 As you'd expect for Acceleration:7/10 a Triad car Handling:4/10 Doesn't take corners well Durability:6/10 Not all that bad really Looks:6/10 Not too bad! It's the Triads "second choice" car, and is reasonably fast, which isn't good when they are pursuing you and hunting you down! Still, it's Honda's best car in the game. Name:Nissan Skyline GTR Most Likely to be Found:Piccadily Circus, Triad Turf Colours found in:Black Speed:7/10 Fairly Fast Acceleration:8/10 Quick off the mark Handling:5/10 OK, there are worse than it Durability:5/10 Again, there are less durable cars Looks:6/10 not too bad! This is the Triads "primary car" and they use it a lot. They can often be seen around Piccadilly Circus, for some unknown reason. Yardies Name:Brabus S-Class Most Likely to be Found:Yardie Turf, ie Clerkerwell Colours found in:Purple Speed:8/10 vrroom! Acceleration:7/10 again, it's fast! Handling:5/10 nothing wrong with the handling Durability:4/10 Slamming it into things isn't the best of ideas Looks:7/10 nice! This is a car used exclusively by the Yardies(In that I haven't seen anyone else using them). Good to cruise around in, but it isn't fun when they are chasing you as they are lightning quick.It's a modified Mercedes SL and was a very clever thing for Team Soho to do by slipping this one in under the manufacturer, Brabus.It's the Yardie's "Second Choice" car Name:Rover SD1 Yardie edition Most Likely to be Found:Clerkenwell - Yardie Turf Colours found in:Purple, with yellow wheels Speed:7/10 Fast again Acceleration:8/10 Average gang car really Handling:5/10 OK handling Durability:6/10 OK Durability Looks:7/10 It has a unqiue charm I guess This is the Yardies "Primary Car" and isn't uncommon on the streets of Clerkenwell. It reminds me of something, but I don't know what. The Yardies have souped it up quite a bit htough, and it even has a rear wing. ***************************************************************************** 8.0 Other Vehicles This is for unusual Vehicles, like the the Sol Vita, the Bus and the fork lift Again, I am using the same stuff so I will use the same intro.All cars will be listed in alphabetical order, and will be assessed under the following criteria (makes me sound like a driving instructor or something) Note, this is all false! FALSE FALES FALSE! no, not the guide itself, this demo example, although the criteria will remain the same, got it? Name: eg Steamroller! Most likely to be found: eg In the River!

I wouldn't really use one to escape in. It basically looks like a steamroller, and if you don't know what one of them is, then I feel sorry for you, really I do. And with no further wait, here they all are! Name:Bus Most Likely to be Found:All over, but there's a lot in Southwark if you ask me Colours found in:Red Speed:*Unknown* I'd estimate 3/10 Acceleration:*Unknown* I'd estimate 3/10 Handling:*Unknown* I'd estimate 2/10 Durability:*Unknown* I'd estimate 7/10 Looks:4/10 I do know this one! It looks ugly For some reason known only to Team Soho, you can't actually get into the single-decker buses. Where I live, these are white, but in London presumably they are red. © Copyright 2001 by YourSITE.com |
