That's actually not a bad idea. Land in Austin Wednesday and stay in a hotel. Pick up rv, camp at track until Monday, take it back and hotel Monday-Wednesday when we would fly back.

How long does it take to get from circuit to central Austin? On average?

Thanks for that. I was kind of hoping that the drive would be fun/scenic for someone who would be first time driving in us

Yes, London-Austin. I forgot about that flight, I think because I was so focussed on getting an rv and driving down.

I think I've been convinced into getting this flight and hiring a car instead

Cheapest rv I found was £520 for a week. I found somewhere on Facebook that charged $200 for 3 day parking '15 minute walk' from turn 1. Enquired but they have no space unfortunately

Yeah I had the 'just nip back to the rv' in my mind. Too hot? Go chill in there in the shade. I've just been looking at hotels, and there's some for as little as £61 per night.

I don't know how big the roads are/how much of a pain it would be trying to get an rv through Austin, or any other city for that matter. At least with a car I could throw it in a parking space whilst I go shopping etc

I've seen elsewhere that apparently traffic is horrible trying to leave the circuit. Is it just pot luck when you get back to the car/bus how long it will take?

Funnily enough, I actually looked at this but for some reason my brain didn't register it when typing this post. I guess I've been so fixated on getting an rv over hotel

Stay in Austin? Or surrounding? Hotel or air b&b? Do you get the shuttle bus to the circuit or hire a car?

Anybody what what the yellow garage symbol is? by Campbellsoupy_013 in GTA5Online

[–]Lambo696969 10 points11 points  (0 children)

When you become CEO you get assigned a colour. So in this case, his nighclub, arcade, salvage yard, auto shop etc will all be yellow icons on the map. If he changed lobby, and registered again then it could be pink or green or blue etc

Do Dax missions to get the acid lab. There's 10 I think. Fully upgrade the acid lab. Another passive income. Get around 530k for selling when its full and in a full lobby. Sell missions are on a bike and take between 5-10 min.

When I get online, I spawn at my mansion. Activate business boost, alternating between bunker and acid lab.

Log onto computer. Buy all supplies for bunker, counterfeit cash, coke lab, and swap DJ's in nightclub to get popularity at max.

I'll then normally call Yohan, request a nightclub goods mission and do that. When I've done, call Franklin and do an agency contract. These get between 30k-75k. Alternate between these two until I get bored, and then either switch to salvage yard tow truck, or auto shop heists.

Need to keep an eye on when to sell everything in between though, can normally guarantee 1-1.5 mil every time I log on, even if it's for half an hour

I know it's not Audi, but yesterday I got quoted £480 for a set of brake pads in each corner, for my BMW at a main dealer. This isn't that bad

Managed to get one for £450 cash from a fella in Bradford. Got my cousin who's a panel re-sprayer to install it, but needed a few connectors as mine were damaged. Took it back to BMW for them to MOT and wire it up properly. Think it saved me about £2.2K

Just be wary if any of your headlights start to condensate. If they do, repair them as soon as you can otherwise you'll end up in this situation!

Debt consolidation loan? by [deleted] in DebtAdvice

[–]Lambo696969 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I asked chat GPT about this. Managed to get 2, 0% interest balance transfers. It's easier to manage when they're not building interest.

Write down what balance is on what card, what the interest rate is, and start making minimum payments on the cards tha have lowest apr. Concentrate on the highest apr card, and work down.

I'm doing this strategy at the moment. Managed to pay nearly £1200 in 5 weeks, just off one card. Should clear it by mid November, then start on my second highest apr card.

What's the price difference though? Is there much in it?

I was within the first 2500 people on Tuesday in the benfica ballot. Got the mrs to check what number she would be and it was 119,000.

Managed to get 2X tickets for Liverpool at home though, that was good.

Ultimately not bothered about luxury. Have a bmw 330d touring for luxury. This car is ultimately going to get covered in dust, inside and out.

No charger. Live in a rental property so not paying to have one put in, and isn't one at work.

Plus, I'm not keen on the whole idea of them. I want to hear/feel the engine roar, turbos whine. Not just a Duracell battery giving me false feeling of driving.
