GTA IV - Whats the best vehicle you found?

After completing the game, and getting bored of hunting pidgeons.. I stumbled across a huge tug boat, which you can control.. This thing must be 40ft by 20ft (rough guess) - it is a monster of a size

I was wondering if anyone else has found other cooler or larger vehicles?? (apart from the normal cars turismo etc...)

For those who dont know what tug boat i am on about, or wish to find it - Its in the Alderney Island, on the map its on the river directly south of Honkers stripclub - in between 2 bridges.

If you do find it - you have to steer to the left, as its too big to steer under the bridge on the right. I thought id tell you that now, as its very slow reversing.

Re: GTA IV - Whats the best vehicle you found?

I've been playing with helicopters recently. It's pretty easy to steal the ones from the helicopter tour place. Also since completing the game I've found a very interesting helicopter (it's got guns, and is the same model Little Jacob flies in the final mission) in the airport, but you get a 4 star wanted level as soon as you go near it. Bit of a pig to fly as well.

Also 'found' (wasn't hard when you know where to look) the Sultan RS which I like due to the nice authentic sounds when you change gear!

I'm pretty sure someone else round here (sorry!) has mentioned that if you steal a security van then if you crash it enough till it explodes, yo can pick up all the money! But don't try and shoot it, as the poilice might turn up.

Fire engines are good for a laugh, as you can use the water cannon to push people around.

Not got round to stealing an ice cream van yet though!

Ice-Cream vans is cool as it plays backwards when your reversing lol.

I will have to check out the armed chopper at the airport!!

I am also currently checking if any cranes or tankers are controllable?

Yeah the sultan rs brings out the boy racer in me - I've got a penchant for the blista compact though - love the sound of the engine Chavving it up in gta ftw!

Re: GTA IV - Whats the best vehicle you found?

Whilst doing some research on what vehicles are about I found http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicles_in_GTA_IV which lists all the vehicles and more importantly where they can be found!

So will be checking out the alternative (ie less stars) ways of getting the interesting helicopter!

hidden in spoiler tags - just highlight everything under this if you want to see a secret


getting all 200 flying rats will give you the attack helicopter at a specific location with no stars at all required to fly it

The same helicopter can be found on one of the roofs on the helipad in second island. Not far away from helicopter tour thingy. Easy to get and no wanted level

It's on the bottom right of the 2nd island. There will be an icon on your map clearly showing it.

Re: GTA IV - Whats the best vehicle you found?

Of the cars I've driven to date, and I've completed the story missions, I think the slickest has to be the Zonda lookalike your Derek gives you after you've helped him out.

Flames out of the exhaust = sweet!
