Chapter 3 - Take a Ride Secrets

The map of Miami. C# = Secret Cars; # = Timmy locations; A = Armory.

If you’ve beaten the Driv3r single-player game and sat through the entire credit sequence then you’ve read the message at the end: there are three secret cars and 10 "unsavory" characters to find in each city. These are the Take a Ride secrets! Select "Take a Ride" from the main menu and then take a spin in one of the three cities and find the secrets described in this chapter.

Miami’s Secret Cars

The go-kart is, perhaps, the most unique secret vehicle in Driv3r.

• Car #1: Start on the western side of Miami and drive to the river that bisects the northern and southern halves of the western side. Drive on the northern half of this river going west from the road. Move along the buildings that face the river and search for an alley leading north. At the end of this alley you’ll find a secret car.
• Car #2: On the western side of Miami, go to the southwestern corner to the roads just before the river. There’s a massive hotel here. Approach the hotel and turn west and into a side path into the trees and shrubbery. Here you’ll find a tunnel that runs to a gate control station. After the tunnel, exit the car and go up the staircase. Follow the catwalk to another stairs and finally into a room marked "Gate Control". Use the switch inside. Return to the car and drive toward the river and through the open gate. Continue south until you reach the track. Go to the track’s pit area and find the second secret car, a go-kart!
• Car #3: Start on the eastern side of Miami at Tanner’s place (the second starting point from the far right). Drive northwest along the coast to the bridge. Advance across the bridge to its center and take a right on the next route. Follow it to the house. Walk up to the garage, which opens to reveal the third secret car.

Miami’s Timmy Vermicellis

There are 10 Timmy Vermicellis (think Driv3r’s jab at Grand Theft Auto) scattered around each of the three city maps. Distinguish Timmys by their colorful clothing and their propensity to shoot you on sight. Kill all 10 Timmys in each city and unlock an Armory, which becomes marked on the mini-map as a small colored circle. Locate it to discover a weapons cache. Reaching the armory then unlocks a special game mode. In Miami, it’s 18-Wheeler Anarchy. Take a spin after visiting the armory to see what that means!

The following are Timmy location descriptions that match the Miami map screenshot in this section of the guide.

Timmy #1: Drive to the southern tip of Miami and find Timmy on the second floor of an abandoned building. Open garage marked A1 to find him inside.

Timmy #2: Just north of the river downtown, search an open garage inside an alley to find the Timmy standing inside.

There’s a Timmy on the second floor at this construction site.

Timmy #3: There’s a construction site north of the river at this location. Find Timmy on the second floor of one of the buildings-in-progress.

Timmy #4: Find the track at this location and search behind the nearby houses to find Timmy hiding out.

Timmy #5: Enter through the gate ramp on the southern side of the football stadium. Search the room on the edge of the upper floor to find Timmy.

Timmy #6: Enter the gate control station at this location. Drive to the hotel then go west into the shrubbery and through the tunnel. Use the catwalk to enter "Gate Control" and discover Timmy inside.

Timmy #7: Start at Tanner’s house, cross the street, and find Timmy in the yard.

Timmy #8: Navigate this dock area and search the building on the far western edge to find Timmy on the upper floor.

Drive a boat to this shack and search its second floor for another Vermicelli.

Timmy #9: Take a boat and go to the "i" in Miami on the map. There’s a shack there. Go inside and find a Timmy in the back room.

Timmy #10: Drive to the Gold Coast Hotel in this location and navigate to the rooftop. Approach the elevator to reveal Timmy.

Once you have found all 10 Timmys in Miami, you’re told to go to the Armory. Drive to the southwestern side near that hotel. Just east of it is a road where you’ll see the dot marking the armory on the map. Pull into the house here and search the backyard for a tunnel. Descend into the armory. Doing so unlocks 18-Wheeler Anarchy mode. Exit and get back in a car and attempt to outrun and outlast those angry semis!
