No kidding. Patting out the fire on his sleeve was a genius segue (starts around 10:40). Fantastic video!

Liked the Muira video.
Stunning car out of my budget so I had a Pantera for a few years instead.
One knock on the Muira as seen in the chassis shots in the video was that the chassis is made of folded sheet metal and can rust out quickly.

Like every other Italian car ever made in that era…

Especially if you owned it and drove it in a country like England.

Maybe we should’ve never let the English own cars.

Something about that photo...reminds me of parking my 944 in a lot mostly full of big SUV's and pickups - and then there is my little car which I'd gotten for 4K, added another 6K with no small amount of sweat to rebuild it and now it drives like new (its also my DD - in northern Vermont no less!)...who else in that lot can claim this kind of ownership? (more likely most of those other cars are not fully paid up!). Sorry to toot my horn...but I'm keepin' my ride!

But that Miura...yeah - she's a beaut!

Edit...am watching the video - great story!

People that haven’t spent any time around these cars can be shocked when they see one out and about, among normal cars.

Here we are 55 years later and nobody has improved on that, not even close.

Late 70s, and 80s a guy down the street from me had a red Miura. Did not drive it a lot but when he did I was just awed by that car. It had a black rear view mirror out on the fender that was rumored to be from K mart. Always wondered what happened to that car.
He also drove a car similar to this.

I've posted these photos before but a guy I know had this one and drove it all the time. He sold it at one of the auctions in Monterey in '14 and bought a better one 20 minutes later in the same auction, both in the low 7-figures, like $1.2M at the time(?)

I quite like Harry's video on the Miura:

+1

I saw one in a line of SUVs and pickups left turning onto north I77 in Akron off of Massillon Road. Mind you, it's not an every day observation.

It was proportionally freakish vs those monsters.
