Timmy Vermicellis and Secret Cars

Timmy Vermicelli "Take a Ride" Objectives and Secret Cars
From the start menu choose, "Take a Ride." This is the free-roam mode for DRIV3R. In this mode, you can just explore the town and have a good ol' time. However, there are some actual objectives that you can do, like finding and killing all 10 Timmy Vermicelli's in each city. That is a not-so-suttle jab at GTA's Tommy Vercetti. Be sure to turn "Cops Off" when you are doing these side missions so that they don't bother you. After you find all 10 Timmy's per level take a look at your map because you now have a Blue Dot on your map. It's the Armoury. Here you can stock up on each and every weapon for that particular city. It also unlocks a mini-game. As for secret cars, you can get those at any time. You don't need to kill all 10 Timmys first.

Miami - Timmy Vermicelli

Please reference the map as the map and the following are coordinated.

DO NOT STEAL THIS MAP. You can link to the page, but not the graphic.

Timmy #1 Go to your house in South Pointe Park (the red X). Exit out the front door of your house and you'll see a pink house right in front of you. In the back yard of this pink house is Timmy #1.

Timmy #2 Next, grab a vehicle and head North to "Miami Beach." When you pass the "M" in "Miami Beach" start looking to your left for the white hotel with the blue trim. There is red sign out front that reads, "Juan Juan Motel." This is also the "Gold Coast" Hotel complex. Actually, depending on what side of the Motel you are on, you may not see the sign. This is the Motel you went to for the "Rooftops" mission. Find that same set of fire escape stairs that you used in that mission and go into the Motel. Go all the way up to the roof exit out and run across the roof just like you did in the "Rooftops" mission. On the other side of the roofs, near the back of the "Gold Coast" sign, go through the door and approach the elevator. When you hear it "ding" get to one side. The doors will open and Timmy will be there shooting at you. Shoot him dead. Timmy #3 The third Timmy is on Dodge Island, the largest of the islands and the southmost bridge, it's where you had to escape from in an earlier mission. You'll see that there is a bridge leading you to the island but first you have to cross over to the other side of the channel so that you can access the bridge. Go across the bridge and then go into the first opening/yard on the right that you come to. It's an opening in a chainlink fence with barbed wire at the top. Facing the water and downtown Miami, to your right you will see several trailers/mobile homes. There is a building behind those trailers. The building has white vertical shingles and a red/maroon/brown horizontal stripe near the bottom of it. Go around back of this building and you'll find Timmy up in the rafters. Timmy #4 Drive to Little Havana in the West. Find the little construction access road with the orange and white concrete barriers off the North side loop road. Go around the barriers and drive down this road. After a few seconds, look to your left for a low stone wall and fenced basketball courts. Facing the basketball courts from the road, Timmy is in front of the white building to the left of the courts. Timmy #5 Keep going West in Little Havana to the Southwest corner of the main loop road near the stadium. Get to the South Side of the stadium, right near the SW corner, and enter the parking lot. You'll see an open ramp with a blue sign above it that reads, "Gate." Run up this ramp and turn left at the top. Enter the open garage-style door and behind an overturned Sobe machine you'll find your Timmy. Timmy #6 Head South to Coral Gables. At the very South end of Coral Gables you'll find the lovely and huge Biltmore Hotel. Facing it, drive down the right walkway. When the walkway curves South, just keep going straight toward the trees in front of you. When you get to the trees, look left (South) and you'll find an underground drainage tunnel. Drive through the tunnel. On the other side of the tunnel get out of your car. You'll see a blue fence blocking your path (to the Go-Karts) and to your left you'll see a staircase to the left and one to the right. Take the one to the left and follow the catwalk all the way up and around. You'll see a green sign that says, "Gate Control." Go through and you'll find Timmy and a flashing yellow button that controls the gate down below. Hit it. Drive the gates and through the tunnel and you'll find the Go-Kart Track. There is a Go-Kart here which qualifies as a secret car. Timmy #7 Find "Coconut Grove" on your map. Look North to the red train tracks (it's the raised commuter train) on the map. See the red Southern extension of the tracks? See where that extension meets up with the other tracks at the intersection of the red tracks. There's a little hook in the train track there as well. That's where you're heading. In this area, you'll find a dark gray stone structure that is open and contains cars and dumpsters. Facing South, looking at that structure, look to the right to find the

alleyway between the white building and the brick and gray building. Go down the alley. On the left is an open garage with Timmy inside. Timmy #8 Head almost as far South as you can go in "Coconut Grove." See at the South how there is a foursquare grid? In the lower right quadrant of that four-square you'll see a much-graffiti-ed raised garage area. Go up the small ramp and find the garage door with "A1" on it. Open the door and you'll find Timmy inside. I banked a Grenade in there on him so I wouldn't take any damage. Timmy #9 These last two Timmy's require a boat so, head back to your home in "South Pointe Park." Stock up on Health if necessary and exit out the back of your house, hop into the water and swim to your boat. You are heading to the stilt houses that you should be familiar with from the blow up the Yacht mission. You are heading toward the word "Miami" on the map. In fact, the stilt house that Timmy is in is directly on the second "i" in "Miami" right on the dot of the "i". Jump out of your boat, go up the ladder, and go inside and kill Timmy. Timmy #10 Hop back in your boat. From the word "Miami" you are going directly West into the channel/river. First you'll pass under a road overpass, then the train overpass, then the highway overpass. Soon, on your right you will see a place to dock near a warehouse. You docked here before on the "Impress Lomaz" mission. Hop out of your boat and head North to where you did indeed impress Lomaz in the construction yard area with all of the half-built houses. On top of one of the houses is your final Timmy. The Armoury is now unlocked.

Miami - The Armoury

Go to the Blue Dot on your map. In the backyard of this house is the Armoury. It looks like a bomb shelter. Go in and down and you'll have access to all sorts of weapons and ammo. This will also unlock the 18-Wheeler Anarchy mode. Now, you have two 18-wheelers after you. They are being driven by Timmys. Egad! To win, simply blow up both 18-wheelers with Grenades and then make sure that all the Timmys are dead that were in the trucks. You can respawn the trucks by going back into the armory.

Miami - Secret Vehicles

Go-Kart On the Go-Kart track, SW of the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. See Timmy #6. You can drive a lap around the Go-Kart track to test your time. Roadster Go directly South from Timmy #10. There is an alleyway between two brick buildings right on the waterfront. Go down the alley to find it. Exotic Sports Car Look at the map and find the center bridge of the three bridges. Off of this bridge there are two peninsulas. Go to the end of the non-loopy one, the Eastern one, and approach the garage at the end of the road and you'll get this car.

Nice - Timmy Vermicelli

Please reference the map as the map and the following are coordinated.

DO NOT STEAL THIS MAP. You can link to the page, but not the graphic.

Timmy #1 I started on the Easternmost starting point. Locate the words, "Villefranche-Sur-Mer," in the NE of the map. Follow the main road going East. See the road that shoots off the main road and then reconnects with the main road? Take that little side road and when you reconnect with the main road turn right (South) onto the main road. Immediately look right. You'll see a dirt road that isn't on the map. Slowly drive along that road and you'll drop off onto the main road again. Turn around. There is a tunnel. Yay! (Or you could've just stuck on the main road until you saw the tunnel). Drive through the tunnel and when you pop out you'll see Timmy under a large stone ramp. Timmy #2 Head to the Southeastern most part of the map, where the little loop road is located. Go to where you had to go for the mission, "18-wheeler." Bust through the gate and find Timmy hiding behind a wooden crate. As long as you're here, you may want to go grab the Forklift (see Secret Vehicles). Timmy #3 Continue around to the West side of this peninsula. On the West curved road along the gray area of the map, near where you see a small peninsula you can find a brick pathway down to the beach (you can also get to this beach via boat). Get down to the beach and, facing the ocean, go right and look for the underground cave. Hop in any boat and drive into the cave/tunnel. Inside the tunnel is your Timmy. Shoot him from your boat. Timmy #4 You're going to go ahead and stay in your boat for this next one. Look at your map and notice the next harbor/bay to your West. Head to the middle of that harbor, the Lighthouse to be specific. As you drive

by in your boat, look up at the Lighthouse and you'll see Timmy perched at the top. You can simply shoot him from your boat. Timmy #5 Go ahead and dock your boat and get back on land. See the gray section of the map to the NW of the Lighthouse? Head there. Follow the road that goes around the gray section. On the West side of the gray section you'll find a small pedestrian path/ramp that goes up. Follow this path all the way until you get to the gazebo (it's past the first building that kinda looks like a gazeebo). Timmy is inside. Timmy #6 Go back to the road you were just on before you climbed the path. Head West from the bottom of the path of Timmy #5 staying on foot. Notice that there is a ramp on each side of this block of houses. On that block, on the ocean side, find the red building labeled, "Municipal." Face it. To left of that building is another building with what look to be wooden doors. Open the second wooden door to the left of the red Municipal building and you'll find Timmy inside. Timmy #7 This next Timmy is directly North of the "E" in "Nice." If you draw a straight line from the "E" Northwards you'll see what looks like a boot-shaped section of road (it also looks like a top-down view of a grand piano). The sole of that boot (or the keys of that piano) is where you need to go. On that road, in the park, is what looks like an Eastern Orthodox-esque church. Facing the church (North), Timmy is on the right side of the church. Timmy #8 Time to head over to the West side of town. Locate, "Aroport De Nice - Cte d'Azur." It's gray on the map. Head there. You need to climb the control tower. Before you climb the ladder up, equip your Shotgun. Grab the ladder and climb all the way up. Shoot Timmy. Be sure to grab onto the ladder on the way back down. Don't fall. While you're at the Airport, you may want to grab the Purple Flame Roadster (see Secret Vehicles). Timmy #9 Locate, "Saint Laurent Du Var," on your map. If you go to the street directly to the right of the "r" in "Var" you'll be right where you need to be. Look for the iron fence surrounding a large white-ish building with garages in it. Find the entrance where the fence is open and go right. Timmy is up the outdoor staircase on the far right open house. You can either go up the stairs and get him or go around the back shoot him while taking cover. Timmy #10 Time for some boating. Getting a boat from here is a real pain. You have to drive all the way back to the small harbor with the Lighthouse where Timmy #4 was located. Drive to the North end of that harbor and grab a boat. Cruise all the way back West and go into the inlet/channel/river and after the channel makes its first right turn look along the left shore for Timmy.

Nice - The Armoury

Go to the Blue Dot on your map. Hey it's a cool old fort. Enter the red door up the stairs and you'll have unlocked "Fugitive Mode." Now all the civilians are armed. Not cool. Frenchies with guns. Egad!

Nice - Secret Vehicles

Fork Lift Go to the Southeasternmost part of the map. Go on the small loop road. At the very South of the road, you'll find a small paved road going even more South. Follow that road until you see the red/orange gravel driveway. Go up the driveway and find the little church. Near the church are two garages. Go up to the garages for the Fork Lift. Purple Flame Roadster Follow the Airport runway going to the East. Past the end of the runway you'll find the fire rescue station. Go up to the left garage for the car. Hippie Van Get to the top of the walled hilltop, NE of the map, "Cagnes Sur Mer." At the top, find the outdoor cafe, "Restaurant." To the left of the restaurant is the Van.

Istanbul - Timmy Vermicelli

Please reference the map as the map and the following are coordinated.

DO NOT STEAL THIS MAP. You can link to the page, but not the graphic.

Timmy #1 Locate the word, "Tokapi," in the Western part of the map. Go to the North end of the road at the end of that word. If you're facing North, look along the left side of the street to find the abandoned building with the outdoor staircase next to the alleyway. Go up the outdoor staircase to the top and Timmy will be on your left in the corner. Timmy #2 Look to the SW of your map. Find the gray part. Underneath the gray part is a green part that looks like a ramp or a wedge of cheese or a misguided triangle. That is the train yard. You can get there by getting onto the train tracks. You can follow my directions for the "Chase the Train" mission to get there. Or, you can go to the South road of that triangle and find the opening in the stone wall. In the train yard, find the two story tower with the outdoor stairs. Go up the stairs to find Timmy. You may also want to get the Secret Car nearby (see Secret Vehicles). Timmy #3 In the South of the map, in between, "Kennedy Road," and, "Sultanhamet," North of the red train tracks is the next Timmy. Across the street from the metal cage "Sickin" fence thing is a white-ish building with a small dome on top. Go into the white building and down the stairs. In the room on the right is Timmy. Timmy #4

Now, head to the red "X" in the South gray area of, "Seraglio Point." Enter the parking lot and go through the doors in the red brick building. Go to the top of the stairs. Go through the door at the top and go into the room across from you. HEALTH! In this room, look at the beaded kitchen. Leaning against a door is a refrigerator/bookcase. Shoot the refrigerator/bookcase to move it. Timmy is inside. You can simply launch a Grenade in there to kill him. Timmy #5 Look at your map and find the blue trolley tracks. Follow the Southern E-W extension of it. It ends but the road keeps going. At the East side of that road is the general area where you are heading. Find the brick hut with the red roof across from a green-trimmed apartment building. Go into the hut and down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, do a U-Turn and find the bar underneath the stairs. That's where Timmy is hiding. Timmy #6 Still on the South peninsula, look for the gray part of the map just South of the Eastern bridge. See the 6 little blocks of green land underneath it? You're heading to the East end of the road that bisects the 6 little blocks. In this shanty town area find the clothes line with the garbage underneath it. Behind the house you'll find Timmy. Timmy #7 Go to the Eastern bridge, the drawbridge. Drive North on it until you see the first two structures (containing stairs) across from each other. Go down the stairs on either side of the bridge and go North a tad. You'll find Timmy in an alley way between the two blue sections of building, under the bridge. Timmy #8 Look at the word, "Istanbul." Drive a straight line North from the "b". See the light gray section of map along the water? That is a ship yard and where you'll find Timmy. From the main road running parallel to this light gray section, you can find a small alley opening. Go down it then break through the wooden fence. Timmy is standing on the flat roof of a building near a large crane. Timmy #9 Look for the Northernmost light gray area on your map right near the words, "Beyoglu West." Head to the South side of the light gray oval. Across the street from the monument is a large gray building with a satellite dish on top and a blue sign reading, "Sopa Jaci." It's a discotheque. Enter the building a get to the dance floor. Look up for the circular DJ window. Go up the stairs and enter the DJ booth to kill Timmy. You can also shoot the discoball. That's kinda fun. On your way to Timmy #10, you may want to pick up the next Secret Car (see Secret Vehicles). Timmy #10 Locate the West bridge. To the West of the North end of that bridge, locate the light gray patch of land. Head there. Use the arch gate to get into this ship yard. Along the water's edge, find what looks like a lifeguard's booth. Run up the stairs and quickly open the door and run away. Now that the door is open, you can kill him from a distance. That's all the Timmys. Before you head to the Armoury, you may want to get the final Secret Vehicle also in this ship yard.

Istanbul - The Armoury

Go to the Blue Dot on your map. Face the fence and the propane tank from the road. To the right of the propane tank is a brown door with a cow skull above it. Go in and down the stairs. You've unlocked,

"Infinite Mass," mode. In other words, Invincible Car Mode. You still take damage but your car doesn't. Fun on the motorcycle.

Istanbul - Secret Vehicles

Gangster Car In the train yard (see Timmy #2) go to the North of the yard and find the train garages. Inside the first open garage on the left, behind a container crate is the 1930s Chicago-style Gangster Car. Roadster This location is hard to explain. Look at the map. Enter the warehouse area that is this section of green map. Find the garage door and open it. Old Indy Car Find the large crane North of the lifeguard booth where you found Timmy #10. At the base of the crane are a bunch of container crates. Go up to each red one until one opens up and you'll find the car. I had a little trouble getting into the car. However, repeatedly hitting my "Enter/Exit" button seemed to do the trick.
