Easy 'Boosting Around the World' achievement
Use the Kitano Hydros Techno. Floor the gas and the brake, and the car will still move. Just add boost to burn out at a very slow speed, making it easier to react to oncoming traffic and obstacles.
Switch to a speed boost-type car (preferably the Ubershall 8 because of the square front end or any speed car with one). Go to the gas station on Angus Wharf. This is the only station this trick will work at, and it cannot be online because of the 'Cagney Update'. Drive to the south end of the station. Drive and boost into the concrete triangle at the end of the station. Keep boosting, and the game will think you are going through the station. You will keep getting boost refills after you Burnout. Keep keep pusheding [Boost] and [Gas], and if you begin to lean towards one way, turn in the other direction. After a few minutes, you should hit Burnout x20.
