I now remember why This one for me wasn't as good as the original and its because of those damn missions.

So is there an easier way to complete them since well Proper driving in this game is not my strong point :D

I love it how I haft to slow down to pretty much a complete stop in order to turn whatever vehicle I am driving.

You can skip them by typing "smartbastard" during gameplay.

i tried that 100 times and it does not work for me

I prefer to us the time freeze code so I can play them. I like the missions, but the physics can be too floaty for precision driving. I spend more time and money trying to get the car back on track.

If you type too fast, the game will often not recognise every key you're hitting. Try leaving about a half second gap between each one.
