Warehouse locations
Hollywood: From the north: from the northern gas station and drive east along the road. Turn on the road that leads between all the other warehouses to get in a courtyard. This is where the end is located. Also from the west: from the southern gas station drive to the basement parking garage, and just before it turn west. Then, drive to the road with all the other warehouses along it (see above directions)
Los Angeles: The upper entrance is located along the split road with one way traffic. It is across the road from the building where you can go up the stairs to the front door. The lower entrance is in the tunnel on Freewy 101 with a ramp heading against the current of traffic.

Mission 4: Getting the surveillance
It is located in the upper section of the basement parking garage.

Mission 6: Finding the cable van
The cable van is found in the alley with the three entrances. It is in the "T" crossing.

Mission 7: Getting to the traffic center
Go along the long curvy road in the north heading towards Union station. Go through the sort of tunnel and off the jump. Then, carefully navigate the ramp and jump the gap back to the roof of the traffic center.

Mission 11: Finding the last armored truck
The last armored truck is on the Walk Of Fame.

Mission 15: Finding Steve
Go right from Union Station and do not turn off that road until you can go on Freeway 101. Follow Freeway 101 until you see the finish.

Controller recommendation
Always use controller set up "A". It is the best set up controller option in the game.

Getting "A" ranks in missions with Mini Coopers
First, always try to get a lot of good air time. Bad jumps do not count as much, or count at all. Also, use R to drive on two wheels whenever you can, as long as you can. Finally, avoid crashing and bumping into things. Each crash counts as a 1,000 point penalty and damage sustained points add up quickly if you keep hitting things.
