Series A Funding heist - do people hate this heist for some reason? I've been trying to do the heists all in order but no matter what its hard work trying to get people to play Series A - the first setup was bad enough but trying to get people to play Trash Truck is even worse. I've spent them best part of 2 hours (don't ask!) inviting people and when I finally get a heist crew of 4 people one either fucks off after launching the heist or we end up playing it but someone fucks it up and then leaves! I've invited crew members, friends and randoms but they all seem to 'dislike' this particular setup. Never had this problem with the heists before this one.

Thanks Rockstar for the glitchy heists!! Not so bad when you're joining someone else but when you're the host...... For the record, I finally decided to host my own heists - managed to get the Fleeca job done eventually after it glitched, now it's glitched on Prison Break - Station. Seems I'm not supposed to drive any vehicles of 'importance' as that's what it glitches on - i.e. the car/vehicle 'freezes' and I can't actually drive it away... Made me look a right idiot to other players in the process....

Have to say I'm pretty impressed with the Brawler. Needed a good off-road vehicle and it does the job perfectly - handles really well and simply to control when you drive & spin over large rocks/obstacles! Got mine more or less fully modded & upgraded and it's pretty fast. This is mine which I posted in the Snapmatic thread:

Still working on re-arranging on my garages (might sell a couple of cars) but here's my latest addition: Can't make my mind up on the colour scheme....

Few of my latest, nothing particularly special: Someone tried to kill me, well it didn't end well for them.... Being taken for a ride on a 'haunted' Speedophile! Don't think he quite knows how to do the 'hokey cokey'... Had too many red cars so my Sabre Turbo got a repaint: And since I'm now part of the IGTA crew, I gave my Coquette Classic a respray too (also previously red):

Cheers - will join it tomorrow. Did also join a crew that was recommended on my current crew's page feed/status.... then I realised 3 of the crew members there I had a run in with (words were exchanged!) earlier today! Left that one pretty quickly....

Just got a message to say my crew is 'shutting down' in a couple of days so need a new one. Already got some alternate ones but they aren't active enough. Anyone any recommendations/suggestions etc for another crew to join?

Haven't posted any for a while so here's a few of my latest...

I liked the interiors and general building design from Unity. However mostly everything else was underwhelming, I was particularly pissed off that half the NPCs spoke with British accents, real immersive in Paris. "Oi, thar's a thief!" There's no way i'll be buying the new one when it comes out, i'll wait for it to be reduced. The line that did it for me was "come back 'ere yer bleedin' pillock!" - yeah, made me feel really immersed in Paris! Really thought Ubisoft had recovered well with Black Flag after the shite AC 3, then with Unity they took a step back again. Certainly won't pre-order & buy at launch with Syndicate - I'll wait for the user reviews on that, plus Fallout 4 will take most of my time anyway. I consider myself a fan of the AC series as a whole, but being honest after the Bethesda E3 show with Fallout 4, I didn't care much when I watched Ubisoft's. Will definitely get the novel though, assuming there'll be one like there usually is.

Latest lot from my pissing around... Michael just can't solve those family problems..... Get up you fucking drunk! Shadowy character... A good day's work!

Hand me that box of tissues now!! Looks amazing - just far more than I was expecting. Time to book 10th November off work!

I've had mixed experiences with playing with randoms. Come across some right belms but on the other hand, have come across some who have been great to play with and have given me a generous cut. What really pisses me off though is the ridiculous loading times - I can accept an invite to a heist/heist setup but sometimes the lobby will be full and then I have to go through the whole process of waiting for it to put me into a new session!

Decided to go ahead and buy the Benefactor Stirling GT as well. Looks great and handles/drives pretty good too.

Plumped for the Albany Virgo first and I'm not disappointed (never am when it comes to the muscle cars!) Will probably buy one of the others as soon as I've tried them out in SP - got over $3m so that's no problem!

My usual random pics... The most recent addition... Still keeping up with my usual routine of killing a random ped... Despite killing this guy, the tram still ran as normal! Ouch!

Its been worth the wait! Only two game franchises get me this excited - GTA and Fallout!

E-I-E-I-E-I-O UP THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE WE GO!! Shame about the quality of pics - had to make do with my old shitty point & shoot camera and my Xperia Z3 phone.

Latest lot... I think Amanda is trying to tell me something....

Shit! Completely forgot about the trailer until I saw this topic. Anyway, as per Massacre... SOLD!

Latest from myself... View from one of my apartments: DO look down!

First snapmatics for months... Gone topless... Couple of resprays I'm very happy with, especially the Huntley...

Wasn't sure whether to post this as a new topic or not but it is pretty 'random'! http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/grand-theft-auto-anger-led-5371813 Think I best watch who I kill in future!

90% of the time I do, sadly a lot of them are thick as pig shit. Thankfully I was in luck today as managed to come across some crew members who weren't/aren't dumb!
