Nobody knows how to use their words better than Ed.
It’s all in the cadence of speaking, taking time to think instead of just blurting shit and having to say like and uh to fill the gaps
It's great. He's mastered the using of words.
Don't wanna brag, but I can use four letter words pretty well
Came here to say this. So damn articulate, clear, and concise. Easy listening.
Ha, you completely took the words out of my mouth friend !
The greatest car on Earth! Thank you for watching.
And what a great color choice you made for it.
Not sure about that superlative, but it’s always a good day when you own what you think is the greatest car in earth! That is automotive contentment
Can you please send a link to the photos on 2:48 and 2:52.
In short every inserted photos in this video 😅.
Thanks
Lambos are so much more special than ferraris. The sooner we admit this as a society, the faster we can get over the car owner virus.
@@noelebbert9322 cheaper than ex wife's tho.
I hope to review this car with you someday. It is always interesting to see an in-depth review from an owner of the car. You are living the dream Ed. The sound this beast makes is eargasmic!
That would be great.
@@EdBolian i'm honored.
Nothing starts like a V12. breeeeeeeeeh BWAAAAH. Truly magical
That's a great way of putting it into text! The Murci start-up is iconic
Can you do a video on where all 29 are
Good idea.
Please get Mat from Demolition Ranch in vinwiki. He's got some crazy cars and done some crazy things with his cars.
BTW huge fan
Thanks! Great recommendation.
Yes Ed. Please get Matt. You two have a bigger crossover audience than you may think, but also would attract subs on both ends.
@@EdBolian please get Cleeter McSkeeter also.
@@joshuagibson2520 Yeah I'm a crossover audience member there
I withdraw my statement. Not a fan of Matt anymore. The guy has benefitted immensely from 2A and the 2A community, yet he won't speak on or support it in any way. He doesn't want the controversy.
Mmmm okay...
That color is amazing, never thought about the LP640 in it but fits so nice.
love this new ed video style!!
I want Ed to be the main voice on my GPS.
Rob Pitts can be the voice when I make a wrong turn.
I definitely agree you should position yourself to be able to wholly enjoy a car whatever it takes to do that. Put miles on it, enjoy it and love it even more.
I do love seeing your videos, please make some more of you taking her out for a drive now and then.
Great car. The manual transmission adds so much to the experience.
It always worries me when people say “resprayed so poorly” on a Lamborghini. Like how much must the previous owner not care, and the spray shop cared even less. Amazing car, amazing sound.
The way he talks when driving is amazing. I wish I could talk to a camera like him. So casual but concentrated at the same time.
This car is everything a driving experience should be ❤️
I couldn't agree more. It doesn't get much better than Ed's Verde LP. Just Imagine how epic it would be to have a matching Mura in the same color.
My personal #1 dream car is a 2010 LP670-4 SV in Giallo Orion.
Is and always will be my pinnacle of a Lamborghini.
One day I hope I can buy one, one can dream
I absolutely loved this video, as a huge fan of the Murcielago, this was just insightful and fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just love ed
I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on the 2005-6 Ford GT. For me, that is THE car.
I’ve had the pleasure of spending the last few years behind the wheel of one and it’s just glorious! The looks, the sound, the RAWness, it’s the whole package for me. In that sense, it seems as though it’d be similar to a Murci.
Considering this is the car you want to keep (and you should!), have you ever thought about removing your seat and fitting a thinner carbon seat? I think behind the seats there are some easily removable, pointless, storage compartments in the murci, and custom runners could make use for of that extra space. I think the tunnel is a bit close on the Murci so maybe a custom seat has to be done. Check out the Tillett B5, no high sides like on other carbon seats but sit very low and thin back. Very comfy, too (even if it doesn't look like it). On my last car I had different runners that sat maybe half an inch lower and went an inch further back, and I went from barely able to close the door (hit my knee) to having a crazy amount of space (to the point that I've done several 1000+ mile road trips in a single day, comfortably).
Anyone else having trouble ignoring that lower plastic trim of the steering wheel.
God bless you Ed
Ed: "It's not gonna be a big car that you're gonna slide off on some crazy donut.."
Damon Fryer: "Hold my red bull.."
And that's why Ed's still runs and Damon's can't seem to keep running
Ha lol
I love Murciélago 💗
its been my favorite since midnight club 3. I was like 7 I think. this car is my dream
he actually uploaded a video here again :D
I have the same affinity for my 1990 928
I was in high school when risky business was released and I had to have 1. It took another 10 ten yeas before I could buy my first, it was a 1984 5 speed. A few later I got my 928 gt. The car is still in my garage and driven 5000 + miles every year.
"The useability"...DDE left the video
I think I feel this way about the M4 GTS.
Lp 640 is my dream car new Lamborghinis are to Audi influenced. I will probably never own a manual unless it's a first gen or paddle f1 but as long as I have one in the stable it's on my vision board
I’d still argue LFA has the best sounding exhaust note. Great video Ed 👍🏻
"I don't think I'll ever own another one"
This comment aged well...
Does repainting it affect the resale value? How did you handle door jams in other areas where the original color would show through otherwise? VIN labels etc?
Ed one taking it.
squeaky lambos, gotta love them
Ed was 16 years old in 2007? Man what different lives people live.
2001 when the first gen Murci was introduced.
Does it still have two check engine light? For each bank
Yes. Neither are on...for now.
Beautiful all around, but man does that interior work well, both color and style (especially the diamond stitch pattern). What phone mount are you using on your left?
carolla radio on mercy radio off so many car related noises
Ed with your height how do you feel about that offest pedal box?
Is it the stock exhaust?
perfect
What is the name of that color?
This is what I see missing from cat channels a guy who keeps his true love and not constantly shifting his driveway.
Ed needs to also narrate audio books. Would not go as far as saying you have a face for radio. My gf thinks he has it going on in that department.. 🤣
Featuring the uber driver phone mount 😂
Ed, why does Damon have such horrible luck with his LP640? Did he just get a rough one or is he too hard on it?
Too hard on it...
If a car does not make you grin every time you get into it, you bought the wrong car.
"I love the usability but I love how useless the car is." - perfect.
Ladies find you a man that loves you the way Ed loves this car.
@@coletrickIe exactly lol
Can Ed increase the price of my car?
You can, by documenting it on the VINwiki app!
@@EdBolian Try to increase the price of my VW diesel minivan with that app!
@@EdBolian I've put up 152 posts of my car on vinwiki
@@EdBolian Just wanted to say you and your stories are a huge reason I'm getting into cars. Thank you for that.
@@TheOystei Quttro?
The shrewd negotiator himself.
Met right in the middle!
Which of the Car Trek guys has the best Murci? Ed, Freddy, or Tyler?
I love the Fast & Furious car.
Ed
#3 Tyler not a manual and cutting holes in it was a crazy idea
#2 Freddy a really rare car sinds it is a famous movie car
#1 Ed by repainting it in a rare but beautiful. But the story how he got his car for nothing makes it so special
Can't decide between Freddy and Ed
DDE Damon manual Murci
This car truly is useless wonder!
I think Ed could get views just reading IKEA instructions.
“There’s a reasonable amount of room for my legs” he says, with his knee closer to his chest than the steering wheel
this man needs to be a presenter on Top Gear
No he does not! He doesn't know as much about cars as he trys to potray
@@tugboat6313 Not every car nut knows everything.
@@tugboat6313 you really think of all those " presenters " know about cars? Lmao 😂 it's all script and shit. Nothing u see is true.
@@rohanram2777 Chris Harris, Harry Metcalfe, Clarkson there are countless people who know about vehicles through and through. This guy sold lambos and thinks he knows it all. Listen to him speak about Porsche's or any other high end vehicle he has never sold and you'll quickly realise he whafts a lot of hot air. Good salesman no doubt and probably will make a good scripted presenter but you could never ask him anything without his researchers present.
@@tugboat6313 omg dude top gear is legendary fake-ish they known as much about cars as everyone they just read the script and learned info through the show and other sources what we need is people who has fun and critiquing news event, the new guys are just people who don’t even touch topics as they’re afraid Top Gear is not an info show it’s a Enjoyment show look up Tesla Issue
I can't wait to see this Murci past 100k miles.
We need more of these type of videos!
Thanks! I will try to make one for each of the cars over time.
@@EdBolian We need an update on the Yates Audi in a bad way.
Ed Bolian Have you sold the one you got for Car Trek yet?
Damn that's beautiful. Major salute
I love the decision to keep the side vents stock and not up at all times and even keeping the side reflector original and orange. It really allows the exterior to have that fresh showroom look.
“I’ve had it in the 190s several times” I love when Ed talks dirty lmao
She’s a beauty Ed. Congrats on your successes in life. Youve earned them.
"If you don't, that's fine, because I love it enough for the two of us."
Manual Murcielago is my absolute dream car, doesn’t have to be an LP640, just has to be manual
I couldn't agree more it's my goal to have one even if it a first gen murcie
This man is a legend the fact that he has re painted this very rare car just proves he has balls of carbon fibre
How does the "gated-ness" differ between the Gallardo and the Murci?
Thanks Ed
I've never had a car
After watching lots of VINwiki I finally got my license.
Now because of you and Tavarish aaand Hoovie I want to get a Lambo
Now this is what I waited for
After seeming the Merci at Avalon, I can tell you the pictures (and videos) don’t do the color justice. A true enthusiast making videos for enthusiasts. Well done, Ed.
In my opinion (for what it’s worth) yours is the only spec to have. It’s just stunning.
Only thing I would add is a very thin Italy tricolor pinstripe down the center and the top of the steering wheel.
I love the manual LP-640. Someday I'm gonna get one.
I am so sad the Murci was in the shop when I visited. Id love to get to see it in person some day. Good job Ed! Thanks for the video bud.
Every time I see this car, I fall more in love with the color. Verde Draco the world.
Ed is such a genuine guy, I love your content man! P.S. verde draco was the best idea for sure.
Look at those scratches around the keyhole.. Ed why is it so hard to put it in the hole?
Previous owners have struggled mightily.
You definitely made the right choice on the color cause it’s absolutely beautiful.
Verde gea, I’ve just bought a liter to paint a 20ft boat, another project 🙄, it’s a lovely coulor.
Beautiful car and obviously sounds good, but I think the LFA really does win in the sound department. Nothing but respect, Ed. Enjoyed this kind of vid, keep them coming!!
I love that car, especially the color you chose for it. IMO, that color just makes the car complete.
The Hurrican seems to hold up as far as durability and milage. Many are in the 100k club without major issues
Huracan's are pretty damn reliable for a supercar. Ryfips's Aventador is reaching the 65ish K Mile mark
Yeah this is definitely a bucket list car for me the ultimate lambo!
Very enjoyable video thank you. I get exactly why you love the gated LP640, as I own one myself for the last 7 years. I am in Ireland, and you know manual cars are rare in the US, here even more so. My car is one of just 6 RHD gated LP640's made, and being an 09 I believe the last RHD gated car to leave the factory. I love it, wonderful old school feel, epic presence, aggressive yet elegant to look at, reliable, and what an engine, the noise and the way the power delivery builds. A gem in the history of Lamborghini.
Love your videos and storytelling. Thank you so much for the enjoyment.
btw Ed, if you were to fit an aftermarket exhaust, what would you recommend?
Hit the nail right on the head with the Murcielago's V12. Lamborghini's sound department really did an amazing job with that howling exhaust.
I prefer the SV variant with it's almost cyborg look... like the picture on the left suggests.
But honestly one thing I've grown to dislike about these cars is the AWD system. I've seen a video of Mondi's RWD converted LP640 and ever since then I believe the only mod I'd do to a Murcielago SV is make it RWD. Even though I don't like modded cars.
If you don't that's OK because I love it enough for the both of us! Omg what a perfect line!
Ed, thank you for all you do for the car universe. You're a fine ambassador.
Ed the love you have for your LP640 is the same I have for 1990 triple black foxbody 5.0. It's the exact same I had in college and I was able to find almost the same specs in the new I had 14yrs ago. Not a Lamborghini but I'm sure you can relate. Great video!
My car love is the MB S65 AMG. I fell in love with with the MB in 1987 when my favorite rapper talked about the 560SEL. And ever since then I have read everything I could get my hands on about her. I had a chance to test drive a 1999 S600. She was rough and needed a lot of TLC. But pulling up to the lights and the V12 badging on the side commanded respect.
Sup Ed.
Good to see you back in the hot seat.
I like the car but I wish I had the cash to buy one 😥😢😭😭😭😭💯
I'd love to know who's murci spent more time on the road. Eds or Damons
I just realized who Ed looks like,,,,, Peter Gabriel
Now I can die
That’s one reason I love your channel/story. Much like a lot of us, you were just a young kid that loved cars. Your passion may have been with exotics, someone else may have loved muscle cars, and another person may like tuners, but the passion for those vehicles are what connect us all. Amazing to see how the channel has grown, and who would’ve thought that you would be able to go cruising the streets in your very own V-12 Lambo?
Those rims might look amazing with painted bronze with that sweet paint job
Ed can sell me a Murcielago the way he talks even though i don't have the money.
Seeing as I'm unlikely to ever be fortunate enough to be in the LP-640 market, I'm glad you love it enough for both of us! It's great to see owners of these rare cars who genuinely enjoy them as cars.
Society is designed for business. Figure out something lucrative and focus all your energy on it. Stay humble and reinvest until you reach a point of success. Then you can buy a fast car that appreciates in value.
@@markm0000 Surprisingly, I already own a couple of vehicles that are appreciating, but I'm much more interested in owning more land than I am more vehicles. I'm genuinely happy to stay on the vicarious side of the Mercy love affair and I'm glad to have an ambassador like Ed to share it with me.
I didn’t know you were thinking of 30th anniversary purple for this car! That would have been great too, but the verde draco is just perfect 👌
Ed invented words 17 years before the date of his birth. They say he was tired of people asking him questions so on his first birthday fathered a book we have all come to know as the dictionary. Women swoon after hearing the words “shrewd” utter into existence. He once knocked Chuck Norris accidentally by the mere gesture of having heard recite a tale of one his Cannon ball runs. His voice box is insures by Loyds Of London for 20 million pounds.
A comment and a question for you kind sir. What specifically drew you to the Verde Draco color? I believe it is an awesome color but I'm just curious to know why you liked it so much. I really look forward to your video on the Brock Yates Audi. I'm sure it will be a must see. Stay safe and best wishes for you and yours!
I love the uniqueness and the green/gold transitions. It is almost reptilian and fits the understated style of the car. No big wings are alternative color accents. Just beautiful.
@@EdBolianGee! I like the color because it accentuates the body lines and allows you to appreciate the entire car, not just the color. Leave it to @EdBolian to bring the reptilian angle. Sounds like Snake oil to me, right Sonny? LOL! Best wishes and Good luck sir. Thank you.
Hey Ed, could imagine taking a closer look at the Ferrari F40? For some reason this car appreciated so dramatically that you probably have to be a millionaire these days to even get a chance at owning one. Cheers.
