Well that's the story finished. Most enjoyable, though the story was a little predictable, I would never expect it to have multiple twists as the game is more about the variety of missions than the actual story. Now to go and do everything else I've missed and start getting some extra achievements

Did you finish it in under 30? Dont think I've got a chance for that now, been spending too long dicking about - though I'll probably be able to load up an old game and pick it up half way through.
Also, Spoiler Alert! - Highlight below to read! Is the mission where you go after Dimtree on the boat (well, thats what I chose to do anyway) the last one? Had a stab at that last thing last night and failed after I pulled the lever on the bridge. End Spoiler Alert!

There's two achievements that are pretty much mutually exclusive; finish all missions in under 30 hours, and finish with all your friends liking you more than 90%. I've gone for the latter and I'm frankly getting fed up of keeping them all sweet. After you've taken them out enough to get them up to 100%, they keep calling you to see if you want to go out again and if you turn them down their liking of you drops by a few percent. The advantage of it though is that you get all the perks (and associated achievements) of being able to call on your friends to supply you with guns, bomb cars, taxi cabs and helicopters.
If I have to take Brucie powerboating again though I'm going to go spare.

Yup, I managed it in a little over 28 hours. After about 20 hours I was consciously aiming for under 30 so I've done nothing but missions for ages, using taxis to get around so I can instantly skip to where I want to go. At one point I thought I stood no chance (there are 94 missions, and with 20 left I figured out I needed to average 16 mins per mission) but I blasted through some of them so I was okay.
That mission you mention isn't the last one for you. I chose that option and there were 2 more missions for me after it, which will probably take you around 20 mins or so if you do it right. If you're aiming for 30 hours, it might be best to reload the autosave if you fail, rather than retrying. That's what I did

 Not even been thinking about the friend achievement - and you're right, thinking about it that will be a bugger. I'll tell you what's harder than you'd think it'd be as well - blowing up 10 cars in 10 seconds. You ineveitaby get the cops after you, and if some guns get fired cars go everywhere and it's difficult to even get 10 cars close together let alone blow them up quickly. 5 rolls was also fiddlier than I thought it'd be, had o persist with that one.

I think the best way to get the 10 cars achievement will be to steal the bus that's opposite Clucking Bell in Star Junction, and use it to block off one of the lanes on the expressways. Wait until 10 cars pile up behind it, then rocket launch the hell out of them
 Perhaps start with a grenade to the front cars then launch a rocket at the back cars to take them all out as quickly as possible.

Although I'm not at the stage yet where rocket launchers are freely available, I'd imagine you could blow four or five cars up on the road near somewhere with a car park, then turn your sights on that. The strip club often has five or six cars parked up there. So I hear.

No chance, they've got to be bumper to bumper (it's called Chain Reaction for a reason I learned!). You can just about fire and deliver 3 rockets in 10 seconds and even when you squish up a load of bonnets they dont all blow together - they domino. Try it, it's quite fiddly
Either that or I suck Best attempt I've had so far was hitting a used car dealership, but I ended up being taken down by some random guy who's car I nicked. My health was quite low :$ Davey - It's just not worth trying when the cars aren't empty - the buggers find a way of sneaking off!
