El Burro wants Claude to reclaim a van full of his adult literature.

El Burro tells Claude a thieving opportunist has stolen a van of his latest publication hot off the press, but the SPANKED-up idiot has left the rear doors open and now his beautifully produced, tasteful adult literature is being dropped all over Liberty. El Burro wants Claude to take his van and follow the trail of Donkey Does Dallas volumes 1, 2 and 3, collecting it as he goes. When you reach the thieving SPANK-head, waste him! Then deliver his donkey derby to XXX Mags in the Red Light District.

After the phone call, you'll see a parked Rumpo nearby, marked with a blue arrow. Get inside.

You're then given a 45 second countdown timer to collect the magazines. Each one adds an additional 1 second to your time, so you need to keep up your speed and try to miss as few as possible. You don't have to collect every single one, but there is a cash bonus if you do manage to get them all.

A SHORTCUT
There's a map at the bottom of this guide showing the route you'll have to take. In the original game you start off with 25 seconds on the clock making this a lot more challenging, but in the Definitive Edition, the difficulty has been cut significantly with an extra 20 seconds added on from the start. Using this extra time, you can actually skip most of the mission and turn left right from the start, heading straight past your safehouse, past Chinatown and picking up the trail under the Callahan Bridge. You'll miss out on a $10,000 bonus for getting all of the magazines, but it will speed up and simplify the mission.

Whether you choose to do the whole thing properly or not, you just need to follow the trail of magazines which ultimately takes you through Hepburn Heights, Harwood, Saint Mark's, Chinatown, Callahan Point, Atlantic Quays and finally to Portland Harbor.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 7

The magazines aren't marked on the radar, so you'll have to physically follow them as they float on the road. They're highlighted with an orange glow making them much easier to see, but if you lose the trail, you'll be on your own to find your way back.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 8

Keep collecting the magazines to keep your time up As you head down the hill in Saint Mark's you'll probably start picking up magazines faster than your time is going down which will increase it by a few seconds, otherwise you'll generally be keeping the time pretty static by picking up a magazine per second.

If you decide to take the shortcut and skip half of the mission, you can pick up the trail under the Callahan Bridge.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 10

You'll then follow it around Atlantic Quays and into Portland Harbor.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 11

You'll go past the Import / Export garage.

And finally track down the thief whose standing behind the van he stole.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 13

You need to kill him, so most people will probably just plough into him with the Rumpo you're driving.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 14

You can get out and attack him on foot with a weapon if you prefer though.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 15

Either way, once he's dead, you'll be told to take your Rumpo to XXX Magazines in the Red Light District.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 16

I guess the fact you picked up most of the magazines on the way means you don't need to take his van any more, so the game will instruct you to get back into yours, assuming you left it.

GTA 3 Big N Veiny 17

Head into the Red Light District where you'll find a blue marker down an alleyway behind XXX Mags, then park up inside it.
