http://ark42.com/mariokart/Mario%20Kart%20Wii.png <---- look at that chart it tells you if you the time to unlock the expert staff ghost.

thanks for that very useful, i have 2 more vehciles to unlock. what i really need to know is in the game itsself, where does it tell me how many staff ghosts i have already unlocked, so i know how many i have left to do?

Restart the game. Do Time Trials. Choose the course. If it shoes the CPU then you haven't got it for that course and vice versa.

so which time do i have to beat the normal staff ghost or the expert one to unlock? thanks

You have to beat the normal one with a gap between you and the ghost depends on the track.

thanks to everyone for your advice, been on a mission and only 3 left to unlock!
