    Once you recive a message about a hidden car and you press cn_X during the notice, you will see a purple circle on your map, thats the area where a garage with a torn down car will be. You need to drive up to it to let your mechanic repair it.

    This site helped me achive this one and the rest of them.

    Using your Drone makes it easier to find the garage.
    Press Meny button and select Drone Mode

    Ashen SeraphI seem to be seriously late into the game and haven't had a single barnfind activate yet. I have 3 festival locations.

    Is this normal? If not, any clues what may be up?

    TabbeBarn finds are not related to festivals, more to exploring. Your barn finds are activated with a call from your mechanic and then shown on the map with a huge circle you need to explore.

    I8ITackyticsI8IWeirdly I have smashed all boards, explored all but 1 road and have maxed out 2 of my 4 festivals and yet not a single notification about a barn find. Seems odd to me.

    For this achievement, you will need to wait until the screen tells you 'barn find rumour' and the voice-over tells you about an abandoned car. This will then appear as a blue circle on the map to show the area that the barn find is in, and if you have the treasure map, then it will appear as a barn with a question mark within that circle. Unfortunately for me, this didn't appear for a long time as I had completed the final showcase and got to level 96 before getting my first barn find.

    Struggling to trigger barn finds? I simply played another player's blueprint for the first time and got 'the player' achievement. This then triggered the voice-over to tell me about a rumour. This leads me to believe you need to complete a championship, complete an exhibition, complete another players blueprint and then explore to trigger barn finds.

    Hope this helps!

    paramoreRyanHaven't played this a huge amount (like less than 10% completion) but the second I completed another player's blueprint I got a barn find come up. Thanks :)
