Petrol Head (30g)

Unlock Action/Method: Drive at least 30 different vehicles.

Optional -- The game technically only has 36 car types in it, but it is not the car type but the variation of the model that counts, so for example each variation of the Shubert Truck counts as a different vehicle, so you can drive the Flatbed, Covered, Stake, etc, and have them count separately.
