It seemed easy enough on the PC - I got about a half of the export cars to
the ship without a scratch. Of those, I got half up the ramp without a
scratch (except the roadtrain, which needs the crane) meaning I got full
revenue for them.

Does a Rhino count? My ones never get scratched, the other vehicles on
the other hand....

I gave this a few tries tonight only following the roads and there's
always one bastard who rear-ends you!

Cheers,

I find it hard to get a car from one side of end of a road to the other
without it "mysteriously" exploding. My general approach to driving is
"not accelerating is for sissies" though.

No. No, it's not impossible.

First off, I'd like to say 'hi' to everyone. I haven't been here for
quite some time now (I think I stopped visiting shortly after VCS was
announced - I remember making a post or two about it, but then I
stopped coming). I also haven't been playing San Andreas for ages
either, having too many other games to play, including, recently, VCS -
great game, VRock brings the soundtrack back up to standards after the
bollocks that passed for a soundtrack in LCS. I still maintain that
Vice City has one of the greatest soundtracks in gaming history, and,
while VCS doesn't match that, it does have some great rock tunes. The
missions are great, and I like Vic Vance as a character - including the
way he develops as a character. For example, he goes from refusing to
touch drugs at the start of VCS to dealing, what was it, 20kg of
Columbian in '86? The only problem is that it overloads the PSP - the
radio cuts out frequently for a second or so at a time, and the pop-up
is horrific. I've had to wait for entire neighbourhoods to load.

Anyway, back on topic, it is in fact possible to do this. Having seen
this challenge when I came back, I couldn't resist, so I dug out SA and
set out to accomplish it. I went up to northern Las Venturas and waited
for a decent car (in the end I got a ZR-350), then drove to K.A.C.C.
Military Fuels in the north-east corner of the map. I set out west,
then drove south to join the Strip at Emerald Isle, and drove down to
the Julius Thruway, where I started to go west again. Unfortunately, at
this point, 5 cars crashed into each other at the red lights at the
junction with the Harry Gold Parkway, and the debris took out one of my
headlights. Which counts as a scrape.

I went back to K.A.C.C. and decided the mistake was in using the
freeway - everyone drives way to fast. So I got another ZR and tried
another route, never staying on the freeway for longer than it took to
get in or out of a city. In the end, I got this second car down to the
beach south-west of Angel Pine without any damage on it (I hit
something very slowly at one point, but nothing showed, and the
challenge states only that there must be no scrapes). That's a corner
of the map, so I did it. The trick is never to pass a car at a
junction, as they have a tendency to turn very sharply, and very
suddenly, or on the freeway, where every car swaps lanes every few
seconds. Also, I used the hard shoulder quite a bit. To show how slow I
drove, it took me 20 minutes in the end - I left LV at the freeway
junction in the north-west, drove across the north side of the desert,
rejoined the freeway at the tunnel just north of the Bayside Marina,
over the Gant Bridge, through SF to the point where the freeway leave
in the south-east of the city and turns into country roads, then past
Mount Chiliad and to that beach I ended up at.

I think I've said enough here. Sorry I went on a bit.
