Piers Morgan on Marbella last night

[longbow]

Did anyone else watch it? Apart from generally making me feel like a financial pleb, the chap that owns Ascari has one hell of a pad. I saw his track featured on a Clakson vid before, but there was more footage in the program last night. I could be wrong but he had around 10 F1 cars in his gargage as well as more exotica than you can shake a stick at - plus his own personal race track in the foothills of Marbella. Could it possibly get any better? Not unless you're surname is Hefner

Interesting program, bit sensational I guess with the crime and drug revalations. Looks a nice place to settle if you have the money. I wonder where Piers 'borrowed' the uk registered Ferrari California from....

That plate is Ferrari UK's Cal demo one.

The place was full of trashy people with to much money and no class.

The Ferrari was gorgous.

Couldn't work out if the interior was tan or a chocolate colour.

I did a trip down there in my old Chimaera in 02. The ex girlfriends parents had a place outside Puerto Banus. Someone above said it was trashy. It was that and some more.I couldnt wait to come home.I didnt watch it last night. It would have brought back to many bad memories.

Gasgoines daughter did it for me, what a fking moron. The Port is worth a quick visit for a laugh at the posers and clingons, but I like the place, Marbella has it's nice bits like any town and the road up to Ronda is a blast

it used to be nice, but over the years footballers wives etc started going - and nasty trash turned up. Puerto Banus itself, it not that nice, but there's plenty of places around that are stunning.

The old dear owns a place on the Golden Mile, funny enough near Alan Sugar (who cheats at tennis!). PM me if you fancy renting it.

Sad to say, I have been through the port in a 360 Spider and Gallardo... with one passer by saying "f@$king footballers"!

I did laugh, I don't even like the sport!

edited... i've just watched the show, piers is the one who is obsessed with money. i mean do you walk into any of your friends houses and ask how much everything is...?

i have seen most things down there - that could be never written on here.

Is he not just putting the questions that the intended audience would ask, the new money questions for the new money wannabe viewer...

Temporarily lost the hire car in the underground car park at PB a few years back. Deliberately parked it in a corner so I'd find it easily, but got disorientated. Being a popular hire car, I came back to find almost every corner of all three levels had a silver Corsa in it just like mine!
+1 on the route to Ronda, great fun!

Watched the programme - that Ascari bloke has a great garage full of exotica, from F1 cars through to classic ferrari (was it a 265?) and to have a private race track!! Can you just imagine what the NIMBY neighbours and nanny state planning regulations would say to that in the UK !!!
