This video reminded me of what being a car guy actually is. How it feels. The excitement. Everything. Reminded me of why I love cars. Doug is a legend for reminding us about the magic of cars.
Exactly. As much as I understand the need/push for EVs, and there's some great ones out there, you will never again get that engine rumble on cold start, the smell of gasoline, the vibration through the shifter, the linear winding up of a naturally aspirated engine. I'm blessed to have a 2019 Bullitt as a daily and the cold starts, exhaust and rowing my own gears is what makes me love my commute. There will be time when I will get an EV or PHEV either due to costs or regulations, but for the time being, my passion is fueled by my V8.

Doug's excitement about this car is so obvious in the video, but when he got back from borrowing it to shoot this video, he experienced an equal part something else that I often feel after driving this car: relief. Every drive in this car is an EVENT. Even when it doesn't catch on fire. My dad bought this car in 1974 and it was after its third fire in the late 70s that he took it off the road (well actually it took itself off the road). I was born in the late 80s and the car was never roadworthy during my life until I was 31 years old. As a child, it was deeply disappointing (and not credible) to tell your schoolmates that you had a Lamborghini but it was a paperweight Lamborghini. I'm delighted that it's back on the road now and getting shared with enthusiasts like Doug or Jason Cammisa, but also all of the strangers who approach me when I'm out in it and simply thank me for driving my own car. I've never owned anything that has had that effect on people before. Seeing it on the road is quite literally a dream come true for me.

Around 1985-85, I saw a Miura for sale in a San Antonio used car lot (I thought is was a Pantera). I stopped in and asked how much they wanted for it... $13,000. When asked if I could test drive it, the salesman said "sure". He brought out the key, and I noticed it had a hinge at the head. It turned out that (at least in this one) the ignition switch was close to other dashboard parts and a normal length key would not have fit. I still remember the sound of the engine (which started instantly) behind me. I backed the car out of it's parking space, shifted into first, and then another salesman came running out to say they had taken a deposit on the car and we couldn't drive. So I pulled it back into it's space and shut it off. I got to drive a bright yellow Miura about a total of 30 feet!
@@carspotting4325 Yeah, it seems cheap today, but that was almost a year's wages for me at the time! It certainly needed to be in better/more capable hands than mine!
My grandfather had one in red. The story on how he became a Miura owners was interesting. He was in Italy on vacation and walked into an Alfa Romero dealership. The Alfa 1750 caught his eye and he wanted to buy one on the spot. Little back ground on my grandfather. He owned several heavy diesel service centers in southern Florida and NYC. He also had a franchise license to sell Peterbilt trucks. Anyways, he purchased the Alfa 1750 and while waiting to finalize the deal, the owner of the Alfa Romero dealership asked my grandfather what he did for a living. My grandfather told him the owner of the Alfa dealership what he did for a living and the owner of the dealership told my grandfather that he loved American trucks and wanted a long nose ring. My grandfather told him that he could arrange a deal and the owner stated that he wanted it for his farm. My grandfather told him that he had a slightly used 1968 Peterbilt 359 and that he would part with it for 28k. The owner of the dealer then said I have a car that I don’t fit into very well, but is beautiful and I will trade you the Alfa 1750 and a Miura for the long nose 359. To make a long story short, the deal was made and my grandfather came home with a 1968 Miura and an Alfa 1750. My father inherited both cars and the business when my grandfather passed and still owns both cars.

You just made me realise I watched a 42 minute review of a car I'll never see in person let alone drive. What a wonderful video.. infectious enthusiasm.
I hate to say it but my wife bought an Explorer Sport with the twin turbo and it’s the best overall vehicle I’ve ever driven. If you going to drive it everyday, it’s a thousand times better than a Muira.
This is one of the best videos you've ever done Doug. I don't think I've ever seen your eyes light up like they did when you were explaining the quirks and features. And what a gorgeous, gorgeous car it is. Best looking car ever? It's definitely up there.
You're killing the game Doug!! This is by far the best review of the Miura EVER, and maybe of any car period. From the apparent excitement you have, to all the cool things I learned about the car, you simply crushed this one, like a train running over a beer can. WELL DONE SIR!!
STUNNING! For a guy who originally started making tractors to this beautiful work of art. It would of been awesome to be at the unveiling of this car to see the look on the face of Enzo Ferrari. And Doug you looked like a kid in a candy store. Congrats man! Take care from "a extremely cold" Canada eh!
@@ΑΠΑΠ-ψ4ν Neither do you man. He's a dead man who made things. There were goods and bads, but let's not deify these people. Mind you, my criticism applies to Ferrari as well.
Of course, the Lamborghini Miura is iconic...but another huge part of what makes this video about it so good is Doug's obvious passion and giddy excitement 😊. Great job Doug! You did right by the Lamborghini Miura with this video 👍!
This is the Doug content I live for. Old, iconic cars or even old regular cars. The enthusiasm and excitement is what makes these videos. The new car videos lack the passion and excitement that these classic videos have. Keep up these videos Doug, dont let the strive for views take away your integrity.
Man, there is just certain amount of enthusiasm that you can reach and express. Doug's enthusiasm has not lowered through all this years, it is us that desentisized.
@@beneathpound9939 he is geneuinely more excited and gitty while driving and talking about this Miura compared to the last few new vehicles he has reviewed. His passion clearly resides in these older vehicles. Though I am glad he has variety on his page in a whole pile of different vehicles, I am definitley more interested in the classic and oddball cars he dives into, compared to the new everyday vehicles.
@@Maximus20778 Not actually what I said. Try reading it next time. I said his new car VIDEOS lack the same passion and excitement as he shows in the older clsssic car videos. But thanks for trying, go fix your own record player.
14:10 That's actually an ammeter, that's something basically all older cars had to let you know how many amps the battery was charging or discharging (hence why it goes from -40 to +40).
This is why I watch this guy. I never forget the thrills of being in a good car. This man's face as he drove this Lambo said all I needed to know. I had that same face during driving (or sometimes even riding) cars like this. Awesomeness.
Love how happy he is to be around the Muira. It's clear he greatly appreciates his position to be able to review and drive these cars as a job. I don't think Doug takes anything for granted.
Best demuro review ever!! His personal, genuine excitement was off the charts. Fun to take that journey with him on this incredible car. Thanks Doug for this one. Love your videos, but this is your best by far. Keep up the good work!
Doug's enthusiasm really is what makes these videos fun to watch. If I were the owner of that car, I'd be smiling to see how much someone truly enjoys driving it like this.
It's even more crazy when you keep in mind the list of cars Doug has reviewed already. not even the legendary Ferrari F40 didn't got him as thrilled as the Miura
@@titicaca. If he does.. I would imagine it be like the F40 where he reviews it without driving it on the road. I think the fact he was allowed to actually drive the Miura personally played a major part in his excitement for this one.
I agree with you. There's been some videos where some of his quirks or description of features/functions (that are just false) got a tad annoying, but after taking a couple of weeks break, I ended up going back and rewatching so many of his videos. But this one feels different. This one is all heart.
this was adorable. oh my goodness. i’ve NEVER seen Doug so happy in a video before. good on you, Doug! i’m glad you were finally able to mark this one off your bucket list. wonderful video!
I feel Doug's excitement, this is my personal all time favorite car. Art on wheels, and an engine noise that makes angels weep. This one is in nice shape, I am supremely jealous.
First time I saw one of these was as a kid, waiting at a bus stop on the Tyne bridge in Newcastle England, when the Miura went blasting past me, circa 71 or 72. The driver had long blond shaggy hair. Turns out it was Rod Stewart who was performing in concert in Newcastle at the time. I will never forget that vision or noise as long as I live (the car not Rod Stewart!). Great video Doug, I totally get your enthusiasm for this iconic car. Absolute dream come true I bet.... thank you.
Wow! Thanks. This is Doug at his best. I have watched many Mura reviews. I have watched Iain Tyrrell restore several of them and drive them through the British country roads. But this filled in so much. I love the quirks and features. And Doug's reaction driving it was just an unbridled thrill as I would have if I was in his position. True automotive enthusiasm.
I haven't watched the video yet, but even after the first seconds I just wanna say how wholesome it is how excited Doug gets when he gets to review a car like this. You can just tell how passionate he is about cars and he always seems so thankful for having the opportunity to review them, especially ones like this. Idk, it just fills you with second-hand excitement I guess
Doug, I would love to see this park next to your Ford GT! Transverse V12. Crazy then and now. Odd that these cars were incredibly inexpensive in like the 80s/90s. In the Countach era, these were looked at as dated styling. 😅 Like you could’ve gotten one for $30,000. And the issue was to maintain them would be very expensive. Now that they’re worth more it’s worth it to maintain them. When this debuted and was parked next to giant American cars, it looked so crazy like a spaceship. You have to remember that in the late 60s American cars even muscle cars were huge. This was 43 inches tall like this thing.
The Miura is such an iconic car with so much coverage, I didn’t expect Doug’s review would be very interesting. Except, Doug, your enthusiasm tells the story. The Miura was exciting when launched, it’s more exciting now, and your nervous joy while driving tells the essence of the Mirua.
(''please don't explode please don't explode please don't explooode!1'') Eeeh, I'll pass on that 'driving experience' thanksy very muchy! It's sad that stuff like this are remembered as 'Icons' just because of misty-eyed nostalgia and the tricks the emotion plays on the human brain - to think people think this is a more iconic car than the Huracan relatively; very sad being honest. Ok, it sounds Phenomenal, I admit and that's very important- but there's more to a car.
Other than when Doug recently bought his Carrera GT, this video puts a huge smile on my face for just how excited he is, especially when test driving it. He can't even contain it, nor should he, and that's really fun to see and watch. What a great car! I hope to see one in person one day.
Wow that was truly great to watch I could feel your genuine excitement the entire 42 minutes! Thanks for finally getting a Miura on the channel Doug, thank you Hyphen for lending your family heirloom, and thank you Miura for not spontaneously combusting.
had a ride in one of these when I was about 13, was just as excited as Doug ! We got up to about 130 on the road between London and Brighton, me egging the driver (my friends dad ) to go faster!
When I saw the thumbnail I said to myself, "Doug is going to be the most ecstatic we have ever seen him during this review." ...and I couldn't be happier for the guy. I've seen this type of joy only in toddlers lol I would imagine this was in his bucket list top 5
The excitement and authenticity you show in this video is truly infectious friend. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. I am so happy for you for having this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Jason Camissa is really one of the best automotive journalist, he obviously loves what he does but he is also so knowledgable and has a great personality.
Congratulations Doug on reaching this bucket list! Thank you for the thorough review and for showing us such odd and interesting facts about the Miura.✌🏻😃
A transverse mounted mid-engine V12. I never would have thought that could be a thing. I think that Doug was just a little excited to review this one. I wonder if there's some way to adjust the position of the gas peddal. I seem to remember that in some cars you can move the peddals instead of adjusting the seat position.
Ah Yeah, we're running a little bit hot tonight I can barely see the road from the heat coming off it, I say I reach down between my legs and Ease the seat back
@@1969EType really??? They are lyrics from Van Halen's song "PANAMA" where in one part you can hear the guitar player's Miura, revving.. i dint bother putting his name because its clear you dont know the band
It is one of if not the most beautiful road cars ever made. I drove one back in 1992 oddly enough at and FCA event. This one looks like a Muira I saw at a private car event in Anderson SC.
Can I just say: the joy and excitement Doug shows for his job makes me happy. Like the saying goes, if you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your life! ;) Edit: Also, it's pretty effing punk to film your review of a four million dollar car under a sign that says "Park at your own Risk". lol 18:30
Bro your enthusiasm for these beautiful works of art and history is contagious and intoxicating! 10k tach?! Unmarked switches and lights?! What a crazy car for 1969... he'll even today almost 50 years later!!!
The joy this car brought you is so apparent and so contagious. Getting to watch someone with the same insane passion for cars I have enjoy an experience like this is most likely the closest I’ll get to that feeling. Thank you for that!
I think the reason why your videos, all of them, are always so good is because of the enthusiasm and genuine love you have for the automobile. This video was the double of that, and it was so awesome to see you truly be star struck by a car. Thank you for the video Doug!!!!
it is absolutely mind-boggling how well preserved this Miura is - also the colour scheme matte yellow/marine blue is just eye candy. I love my 80s cars but this is something else, just pure class on wheels
Good lord Doug, this car looks “crazy, insane, unreal” … how about just, _beautiful?_ The Miura is hands down, one of the most beautiful production cars ever built, period.
I'd up you with the 250GTO.. rear is better looking on the Miura though but GTO overall. But this is one of the most important car in history on a whole other level than the GTO undoubtedly.
@@automation7295 a bit deeper than that. But to your question/statement, no I don’t and that was never the point. If all we wanted was the best car our favorite car would change pretty often. This is about the charm, history, the influence the car had, the lines, impact, uniqueness, sound etc. If you really think that we would wish for cars to burn up I’m not sure you’re at the right place tbh.
Id love to see doug review other older cars. Especially the ones that paved the way for cars we have now. Like the original mustang, corvette, E-type, charger. ETC.
What an absolutely amazing experience and video Doug! In terms of pure excitement and joy the Miura gave you, I think it tops your emotional Doug score. What an icon and it didn't disappoint in any way!
Honestly Doug...the first time I came across one of your videos was after searching for Miura reviews, only to realize that you hadn't yet done one. Since then, after watching countless reviews and videos on your channel, it's truly great to see you completely gleeful behind the wheel of this gorgeous car. You are like a kid in the candy shop. And I'm reminded of my childhood and my love for cars. Thank you.
Like a lot cars of that era, the seating position was often jokingly described as' Italian Standard Ape', meaning you needed short legs and long arms, the pedals were often off-set towards the center of the car, because of wheel arch intrusion. Great review Doug!
Such great fun to (vicariously) join you on your day with this amazing car! And I’m glad you (and it) did not catch on fire. Thanks to the owner for lending it to you so we could all get an up close and personal look inside. It’s hilarious that the window switches are labeled (duh!) but virtually all the rest of the switches and warning lights are not. If I had the car, I’d have to get one of those label maker things to put names on them. Great video, Doug.
imagine being a passer-by and seeing a t-shirted man sitting on the curb with an iphone on a stand crying his eyes out because he finally gets to film what you consider to just be "an old sports car, maybe one of those ferraris"
On of the most beautiful car ever. To me, Doug seems a very humble person. He puts lost and lots of hard work to bring these amazing reviews to us. Thank you Doug !!!.. keep it up mate
Don’t recall Doug to have been more excited than for this review
@Morbius 🅥 Hard pass
One can hear the emotion in his voice during the intro.
Sounds like he's about to cry
For good reason
Such a fangirl he is...geez... 🤣😂
Seeing Doug’s excitement is great. It’s a reminder that he is a car enthusiast, not just some TH-cam car review guy.
I would have been that excited if given the opportunity to drive a Miura and I would have been disappointed if Doug hadn't been so excited. 😄

I hate to say it but my wife bought an Explorer Sport with the twin turbo and it’s the best overall vehicle I’ve ever driven. If you going to drive it everyday, it’s a thousand times better than a Muira.
Or the Lincoln Blackwood one
18:50 I love that Doug parked a 4 million dollar car in front of a sign that says, "PARK AT YOUR OWN RISK".
Yeah, I saw that.
I have never seen him being so purely happy! Completely got me off guard, kudos to you Doug ♥️
You haven't seen much Doug then.
@@donkremer6019 Least he didn’t sound all that excited for any other of his videos previously :3
This is one of the best videos you've ever done Doug. I don't think I've ever seen your eyes light up like they did when you were explaining the quirks and features. And what a gorgeous, gorgeous car it is. Best looking car ever? It's definitely up there.
You're killing the game Doug!! This is by far the best review of the Miura EVER, and maybe of any car period. From the apparent excitement you have, to all the cool things I learned about the car, you simply crushed this one, like a train running over a beer can. WELL DONE SIR!!
It really was the best car review I've ever seen.
I agree!
Never seen anyone call Doug a "sir" 😂
I agree tho!
Well said!
STUNNING! For a guy who originally started making tractors to this beautiful work of art. It would of been awesome to be at the unveiling of this car to see the look on the face of Enzo Ferrari. And Doug you looked like a kid in a candy store. Congrats man! Take care from "a extremely cold" Canada eh!
Agreed, indeed... 😁 ...and
with you, for sure
we (in Tarahnow) most
certainly do... concur.
A guy who started by making tractors, I wasn’t surprised his stupid car lit on fire so often hahaha.
Mr Lamborghini was a great engineer himself, who loved fast cars, before he started the automobile company.
@@samwu1836 you don't know who mr Lamborghini was, so don't be disrespectful.
@@ΑΠΑΠ-ψ4ν Neither do you man. He's a dead man who made things. There were goods and bads, but let's not deify these people. Mind you, my criticism applies to Ferrari as well.
Of course, the Lamborghini Miura is iconic...but another huge part of what makes this video about it so good is Doug's obvious passion and giddy excitement 😊. Great job Doug! You did right by the Lamborghini Miura with this video 👍!
Doug is just having the TIME OF HIS LIFE driving this car! Definitely worthy of a Doug Demuro award at the end of this year!
I have NEVER EVER seen Doug that excited...You can hear his voice tremble, his knees shake and his eyes shed hot tears of joy! Good for you Doug!
This video needs more likes for how much Doug liked having this experience!
This is the Doug content I live for. Old, iconic cars or even old regular cars. The enthusiasm and excitement is what makes these videos. The new car videos lack the passion and excitement that these classic videos have. Keep up these videos Doug, dont let the strive for views take away your integrity.
Man, there is just certain amount of enthusiasm that you can reach and express. Doug's enthusiasm has not lowered through all this years, it is us that desentisized.
@@beneathpound9939 he is geneuinely more excited and gitty while driving and talking about this Miura compared to the last few new vehicles he has reviewed. His passion clearly resides in these older vehicles. Though I am glad he has variety on his page in a whole pile of different vehicles, I am definitley more interested in the classic and oddball cars he dives into, compared to the new everyday vehicles.
This 100%
"new cars lack passion and excitement" you are starting to sound like an old record player.
@@Maximus20778 Not actually what I said. Try reading it next time. I said his new car VIDEOS lack the same passion and excitement as he shows in the older clsssic car videos. But thanks for trying, go fix your own record player.
14:10 That's actually an ammeter, that's something basically all older cars had to let you know how many amps the battery was charging or discharging (hence why it goes from -40 to +40).
Aircraft have a gauge (or digital readout) for this. It's nice to see confirmation that the alternator is working.
This is why I watch this guy. I never forget the thrills of being in a good car. This man's face as he drove this Lambo said all I needed to know. I had that same face during driving (or sometimes even riding) cars like this. Awesomeness.
Please teach me how to ride a car
If you like your time to be a-wasted....
@@frankfarago2825 “a-wasted 🤓”
@@MATDMixesbrother.. he never corrected anyone, and anyone who used the nerd emoji to start a argument, I know they’re a dumbass brother.
Watching Doug cover quirks and features: pretty cool
Watching Doug's excitement as he drives: greatest thing I've ever seen
Love how happy he is to be around the Muira. It's clear he greatly appreciates his position to be able to review and drive these cars as a job. I don't think Doug takes anything for granted.
It is literally one of the most beautiful cars ever, pics/video do no justice. When you see it in person you're just in shock at its presence.
And maybe one day I will get to see that car in person, that would be a very exciting day.
Best demuro review ever!! His personal, genuine excitement was off the charts. Fun to take that journey with him on this incredible car. Thanks Doug for this one. Love your videos, but this is your best by far. Keep up the good work!
Doug's enthusiasm really is what makes these videos fun to watch. If I were the owner of that car, I'd be smiling to see how much someone truly enjoys driving it like this.
I’m mind blown at how this specific Muira looks like it just came out of the factory. Condition is pristine.
it's just so heartwarming to see Doug being THAT thrilled, thank you for all your work man and hope you feel like this more frequently
with or without happy ending?
It's even more crazy when you keep in mind the list of cars Doug has reviewed already. not even the legendary Ferrari F40 didn't got him as thrilled as the Miura
@@lunasilvermoon2283 I wonder how he would react to reviewing an original gt40, if he ever gets the chance
@@titicaca. If he does.. I would imagine it be like the F40 where he reviews it without driving it on the road.
I think the fact he was allowed to actually drive the Miura personally played a major part in his excitement for this one.
This is why I love watching Doug's reviews. You can really tell he's genuinely interested and excited about the car
I agree with you. There's been some videos where some of his quirks or description of features/functions (that are just false) got a tad annoying, but after taking a couple of weeks break, I ended up going back and rewatching so many of his videos. But this one feels different. This one is all heart.
Great to see one of Doug’s bucket list items checked!! I do understand his excitement being a car enthusiast. Great job!
Doug's giddiness is contagious. I get really happy when he reviews cars like this!
I don’t recall Doug ever being so emotional in any of his reviews. He was almost in tears at the beginning of the video. I feel you Doug!
Yes this feels like 2015/2016 doug
this was adorable. oh my goodness. i’ve NEVER seen Doug so happy in a video before.
good on you, Doug! i’m glad you were finally able to mark this one off your bucket list. wonderful video!
I feel Doug's excitement, this is my personal all time favorite car. Art on wheels, and an engine noise that makes angels weep. This one is in nice shape, I am supremely jealous.
First time I saw one of these was as a kid, waiting at a bus stop on the Tyne bridge in Newcastle England, when the Miura went blasting past me, circa 71 or 72. The driver had long blond shaggy hair. Turns out it was Rod Stewart who was performing in concert in Newcastle at the time. I will never forget that vision or noise as long as I live (the car not Rod Stewart!). Great video Doug, I totally get your enthusiasm for this iconic car. Absolute dream come true I bet.... thank you.
I saw one in London in 1969/70. Compared to the cars around at the time it was as if a spaceship had landed.
Great car and futuristic for that time and rod is still present with us thankfully. Rog. P s records.
The most excited guy after the Newcastle takeover would have been you right?
This is a top 10 all time Doug videos. You can tell how truly special this was for him.
Please bring back the detailed breakdown of the Doug score. We'd love to see your thoughts on why you gave each score.
Yep. I miss his thoughts on why he scored a vehicle the way he did.
Wow! Thanks. This is Doug at his best.
I have watched many Mura reviews. I have watched Iain Tyrrell restore several of them and drive them through the British country roads. But this filled in so much. I love the quirks and features. And Doug's reaction driving it was just an unbridled thrill as I would have if I was in his position. True automotive enthusiasm.
I haven't watched the video yet, but even after the first seconds I just wanna say how wholesome it is how excited Doug gets when he gets to review a car like this. You can just tell how passionate he is about cars and he always seems so thankful for having the opportunity to review them, especially ones like this. Idk, it just fills you with second-hand excitement I guess
Just to let you know someone who’s a bot stole your comment
@@drippgxd what an honor
Doug sounds like he is about to cry with happiness… such a lovable guy
This or the Carrera GT have got to be some of Dougs favorite experiences. You deserve it Doug and we love seeing you so excited!
I was just thinking the same exact thing!
Cgt is nothing so special driver car. One of the worst driver car
@@boycottwalton9718 sure kid
@Цветомир Попов obviously. Buy you surely don't know about cars much. Cgt is a bad car to drive. Even worse than Mustang.
@@justno8019 want food kiddo
Doug, I would love to see this park next to your Ford GT! Transverse V12. Crazy then and now. Odd that these cars were incredibly inexpensive in like the 80s/90s. In the Countach era, these were looked at as dated styling. 😅 Like you could’ve gotten one for $30,000. And the issue was to maintain them would be very expensive. Now that they’re worth more it’s worth it to maintain them. When this debuted and was parked next to giant American cars, it looked so crazy like a spaceship. You have to remember that in the late 60s American cars even muscle cars were huge. This was 43 inches tall like this thing.
I have never seen Doug so excited and happy while out driving a car, he had a long time wish fullflled, very happy for you Doug.
The Miura is such an iconic car with so much coverage, I didn’t expect Doug’s review would be very interesting. Except, Doug, your enthusiasm tells the story. The Miura was exciting when launched, it’s more exciting now, and your nervous joy while driving tells the essence of the Mirua.
(''please don't explode please don't explode please don't explooode!1'')
Eeeh, I'll pass on that 'driving experience' thanksy very muchy! It's sad that stuff like this are remembered as 'Icons' just because of misty-eyed nostalgia and the tricks the emotion plays on the human brain - to think people think this is a more iconic car than the Huracan relatively; very sad being honest. Ok, it sounds Phenomenal, I admit and that's very important- but there's more to a car.
Car is 10/10; Doug's enthusiasm doing this review 12/10!
100/10
Other than when Doug recently bought his Carrera GT, this video puts a huge smile on my face for just how excited he is, especially when test driving it. He can't even contain it, nor should he, and that's really fun to see and watch. What a great car! I hope to see one in person one day.
One of the most enthusiastic "This" I have ever heard! 😁
Wow that was truly great to watch I could feel your genuine excitement the entire 42 minutes! Thanks for finally getting a Miura on the channel Doug, thank you Hyphen for lending your family heirloom, and thank you Miura for not spontaneously combusting.
Wait is it really Hyphen’s Miura?
@@Charlie-Charlot Yea it is!
@@Charlie-Charlot it's in the video description. It actually is his Miura
had a ride in one of these when I was about 13, was just as excited as Doug ! We got up to about 130 on the road between London and Brighton, me egging the driver (my friends dad ) to go faster!
Why does your comment remind me of a Leo Sayer song?
@@TheWorldTeacher You make me feel like dancing !
When I saw the thumbnail I said to myself, "Doug is going to be the most ecstatic we have ever seen him during this review."
...and I couldn't be happier for the guy. I've seen this type of joy only in toddlers lol
I would imagine this was in his bucket list top 5
The excitement and authenticity you show in this video is truly infectious friend. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time. I am so happy for you for having this once in a lifetime opportunity.
I love how Doug is genuinely joyful from start to finish with this legendary car. A true petrolhead for sure.
In the UK 🇬🇧: Petrolhead
In my homeland USA 🇺🇸: Gashead??? (We usually call it gearhead but gashead is kinda funny)
He is soo happy. Glad he got to review this iconic supercar! 42 minutes of pure excitement. It’s so beautiful
Jason Camissa is really one of the best automotive journalist, he obviously loves what he does but he is also so knowledgable and has a great personality.
I really LOVED how Jason Camissa introduced the Miura, he was such great when he presented the Lamborghini's approach to fires and failures... :D
I believe this Miura belongs to his friend Derek Tam "Hyphen" Scott, from The Carmudgeon Show
One of my personal favourite cars, but also just genuinely one of the most beautiful, but somehow simple designed cars of all time. Such a gem
Congratulations Doug on reaching this bucket list! Thank you for the thorough review and for showing us such odd and interesting facts about the Miura.✌🏻😃
One of Doug's top 5 reviews. His enthusiasm is contagious. If I ever won the powerball I would buy a Miura.
Seeing Doug’s enthusiasm reminds me why I love cars so much. This is excellent!
Seeing Doug’s sauce stained chin reminds me why I love lunch so much. This is excellent!
A transverse mounted mid-engine V12. I never would have thought that could be a thing.
I think that Doug was just a little excited to review this one.
I wonder if there's some way to adjust the position of the gas peddal. I seem to remember that in some cars you can move the peddals instead of adjusting the seat position.
This car instantly makes me think of Panama, with Eddie Van Halen’s Miura revving.
One of the most beautiful cars of all time!
Ah
Yeah, we're running a little bit hot tonight
I can barely see the road from the heat coming off it, I say
I reach down between my legs and
Ease the seat back
I LOVE Van Halen!
That's the perfect driving song
@@JakeTerch What did all of that even mean!?!? I don't know...that's just what cool sounded like in 1984.
@@1969EType really??? They are lyrics from Van Halen's song "PANAMA" where in one
part you can hear the guitar player's Miura, revving.. i dint bother putting his name because its clear you dont know the band
It is one of if not the most beautiful road cars ever made. I drove one back in 1992 oddly enough at and FCA event. This one looks like a Muira I saw at a private car event in Anderson SC.
My man looks so excited, so happy.
Well done on this catch Doug, well deserved!
I only recall Jason of Hagerty having this other than you.. Awesome!
Literally the same car, owned by Jason's friend Derek. Gorgeous piece.
Doug is making history with his reviews, I've never seen him happier.
You're doing a fantastic job.
This car's interior aged so well, it still looks modern. Truly beautiful!
All that leather makes it look modern indeed, what a beauty!
Even the exterior still feels modern. It's aged so well.
I am 99.9999% sure that its refurbished with original spec.
@@roger_hauer he literally said it burnt and was refurbished. So yes its all new.
I'd say timeless personally.
What a beautiful car 😍 most of today's cars absolutely lack personality.
When I was a kid, this was the car of my dreams. Yeah, I'm old. I think it still looks fresh and exciting.
Agreed!
I still want one
And I'm 21
I'm a young man in his 20's and I definitely prefer a Miura, 288 GTO, etc. to a new supercar.
There are HUNDREDS of Miura videos on the internet, NONE ever shared what the Miura's horn sounded like. That's why Doug is the man. Thank you Doug!
Can I just say: the joy and excitement Doug shows for his job makes me happy. Like the saying goes, if you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your life! ;)
Edit: Also, it's pretty effing punk to film your review of a four million dollar car under a sign that says "Park at your own Risk". lol 18:30
Bro your enthusiasm for these beautiful works of art and history is contagious and intoxicating!
10k tach?! Unmarked switches and lights?!
What a crazy car for 1969... he'll even today almost 50 years later!!!
The joy this car brought you is so apparent and so contagious. Getting to watch someone with the same insane passion for cars I have enjoy an experience like this is most likely the closest I’ll get to that feeling. Thank you for that!
That view of the engine through the back window... oh my gosh that is glorious...
I think the reason why your videos, all of them, are always so good is because of the enthusiasm and genuine love you have for the automobile. This video was the double of that, and it was so awesome to see you truly be star struck by a car. Thank you for the video Doug!!!!
it is absolutely mind-boggling how well preserved this Miura is - also the colour scheme matte yellow/marine blue is just eye candy. I love my 80s cars but this is something else, just pure class on wheels
Good lord Doug, this car looks “crazy, insane, unreal” … how about just, _beautiful?_ The Miura is hands down, one of the most beautiful production cars ever built, period.
I'd up you with the 250GTO.. rear is better looking on the Miura though but GTO overall.
But this is one of the most important car in history on a whole other level than the GTO undoubtedly.
Kinda disagree
I bet you people wish that all cars explode very easily in real life.
@@automation7295 a bit deeper than that. But to your question/statement, no I don’t and that was never the point. If all we wanted was the best car our favorite car would change pretty often. This is about the charm, history, the influence the car had, the lines, impact, uniqueness, sound etc. If you really think that we would wish for cars to burn up I’m not sure you’re at the right place tbh.
Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale? I mean this car is insanely beautiful, but that car is in its own league.
Id love to see doug review other older cars. Especially the ones that paved the way for cars we have now. Like the original mustang, corvette, E-type, charger. ETC.
Your genuine reactions are priceless. Always puts a smile on my face and makes me feel like I am there with ya!
Tis True!!!!
That Lamborghini looks so good especially with the rims man it looks amazing
OK… that’s enthusiasm and happiness in driving that did it for me. That’s an “I gotta get one” kinda drive… Doug sell it all and get one!
What an absolutely amazing experience and video Doug! In terms of pure excitement and joy the Miura gave you, I think it tops your emotional Doug score. What an icon and it didn't disappoint in any way!
Honestly Doug...the first time I came across one of your videos was after searching for Miura reviews, only to realize that you hadn't yet done one. Since then, after watching countless reviews and videos on your channel, it's truly great to see you completely gleeful behind the wheel of this gorgeous car. You are like a kid in the candy shop. And I'm reminded of my childhood and my love for cars. Thank you.
Like a lot cars of that era, the seating position was often jokingly described as' Italian Standard Ape', meaning you needed short legs and long arms, the pedals were often off-set towards the center of the car, because of wheel arch intrusion. Great review Doug!
Perfection on wheels! I adore the Miura.
Such great fun to (vicariously) join you on your day with this amazing car! And I’m glad you (and it) did not catch on fire.
Thanks to the owner for lending it to you so we could all get an up close and personal look inside.
It’s hilarious that the window switches are labeled (duh!) but virtually all the rest of the switches and warning lights are not. If I had the car, I’d have to get one of those label maker things to put names on them.
Great video, Doug.
I think this is why Doug became a car reviewer. Just look how happy this guy is in the intro and at the end.
So happy for you, Doug. Your genuine exhilaration and giddy excitement makes this one of your best videos ever. Cheers!
Holy moly how is nobody talking about the Diablo GTR in the preview
imagine being a passer-by and seeing a t-shirted man sitting on the curb with an iphone on a stand crying his eyes out because he finally gets to film what you consider to just be "an old sports car, maybe one of those ferraris"
On of the most beautiful car ever. To me, Doug seems a very humble person. He puts lost and lots of hard work to bring these amazing reviews to us.
Thank you Doug !!!.. keep it up mate
Doug and Miura have one thing in common - They are unique!
Big thanks to the owner for making this pairing possible!
Doug, the only person to review a car in shorts and slippers and messy hair.
Doug Demiura
@@justsomeguy1695 Brilliant!
Doug really loves what he is doing. Every review, even if it isnt some super rare supercar he brings alot of enthusiasm.
I should hope so, he makes millions doing it. Enthusiasm is the bare minimum.
This is why I love to watch his videos.
