Hoovie's Lamborghini Murcielago is the MOST AWKWARD Supercar EVER!
Tyler from Hoovie's Garage owns a trio of V12 Lamborghinis and today we're out with the Murcielago Roadster and Countach! First up, the insanely complex process to install the roof to the Murci, before the Hoopties are out with fingers crossed for an incident free drive...
Tyler's collection of V12 Lamborghinis actually includes a third as well with a Diablo Roadster, but today it's about the two in full running order including the Countach and Murcielago Roadster. Prior to getting on the road, the first objective is to install the roof for the Murci, which is far from the easiest process ever undertaken!
Famous for it's fabric roof contraption that must first be assembled before installation, it's one of the most awkward "convertible" systems ever found on a car. Consisting of multiple pieces, it must be pushed and pulled in all sorts of directions before eventually closing down the poppers and having the car ready for a few hours out on the roads.
However, for the drive, the rawness and excitement of the Murcielago is truly fantastic, even more so when giving chase to a Countach on the way too. The seat is angled, the wheel is off-center, the sound is deafening, there's no useful storage, it's all around clunky and awkward but somehow this makes it a true supercar in a way that nothing modern could possibly compete. Ultimately, what a drive!

There are awkward cars to drive, and then there's the Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster.... A perfect demonstration from Tyler of Hoovie's Garage as to what makes the Murci quite so bizarre! roworld.info
My dad is original owner of murcielago shmee sold it with 860 miles
The Murcielago roof looks like a really badly fitted toupee
That's an excellent v12
Some great grins from this Episode...
I can sympathize with an awesome car that isn't quite as awesome to drive. I remember finally buying my hero car, a C3 Corvette. It left me smiling, but tired after every long trip.
2:00 The holes they cut in order to tackle the transmission issues, without pulling it out of the car, have not impacted the integrity of the chassis at all. I don't need to be an engineer, just have some engineering oversight and feel for things, to say this wouldn't hurt the car frame. It's far from touching a thinner frame, even less the backbone of the Murcy chassis. The thing that it worked without pulling an engine, and it may be used even in future cases.
12:39 was anyone else really confused when the camera just floated away from him and wasn’t being held by him anymore. Very trippy 😂
Sound is BAAAAADDDDDD...
Wtf is a "pre LP Mercilagu," they're all Lp's. That's what it is, the third iteration of Lambos "LP" line... The name coined for the first iteration LP400 Countach, followef by the LP500 Countach, then Diablo, then Mercilagu, meaning Lamborghini Prototype, LP is the prefix to the model number, which is usually the horsepower, and Mercilagus are "Lamborghini Mercilagu, LP640" The term LP was coined in the 1960's, so how is there a PRE LP Merci??? When Mercilagus didn't exist until 40 some odd years AFTER the term LP was coined????!???
the Countach is so beautiful supercar!
Who knew Hoovie was a yoga master...
That's pretty awesome having a friend drive one of your cars with you and the two of you have fun together

This is my first introduction to you, Shmee, and I gotta say you do a great job. Subbed to you after coming over from Hoovie's channel.

The roof cover isn’t “pretty” but it’s not hooked up to 200 lbs of motors and rigging. Saves weight and cleans up the back area too. I don’t have a problem with it.
Y’all were driving through winfield, that like 30 mins from me that’s crwzy
My dad is original owner of that murcielago
4:33 Man you just hit the nail on the head of why I hate this era of lamborghini, so much done wrong by Audi AG with these, plus the difference in the engine packaging means you have to remove far less to get at what really runs the engine, also they remapped the engine for the murcie from the pre diablo 6.0, as all a murcie is is just a diablo 6.0 VT with a wider far meltier body, like you can even see it in those stupid air vents they added to the diablo here, now its just covered up with an even uglier melted cheeze extendo bumper thing and it runs on banks of 3 for max torque and power lowdown, as a three banger has more power and torque lower down than a 4. that's why you have that packaging with those two intake things on either side instead of the solid intake runners on the Countach, same with the bat guano gallardo that tavarish had, or has rather, they literally mapped the thing to run on banks of 3 on either side as the engine powers up to max power to get the thing to perform like a V8 lower down hence why Ed said its like the thing has V tec when he took Adam LZ for a drive in his a few years ago, its all about how they mapped the engine injection system to work out. and its the one damn thing the germans did right on them, like leave the engineering, drop the stylists and hire some actual italians guys, as that styling is a disgrace, audi in the front, audi on the sides with the wheels, and a volkswaggen perforated leather interior with a VW Keyfob like I literally saw that interior on a Volkswaggen Turbo Beetle back in the 2000's back then. as christ do they NOT know how to make a lamborghini look good anymore, and to think they got worse also FYi they did make fun of the top back in the day, richard hammond tried to do this in a hurry once at the bull run in spain, like JE-SUS lol its called an umbrella, take it from the bentley doors and carry it with you as it aint gonna work otherwise lol like actually hold on a tick, did someone have an early 90's viper RT/10 with a cloth roof lying at the factory when they made these? lol
Hoovie is having Performance Anxiety trying to put the "raincoat" on the Lambo
Genaddi made an hardtop roof for the Murcielago Roadster back in like 2007 which is a million times better than the actual cloth top roof, but I'm not too sure if they sell those anymore.
Hoovie.... "thanks for watching guys.... Here's my anus!" 18:30
Love the American tour videos
You just got a new add and like 👍
Hey Shmee, would you like some cheese??
Now he needs to go meet Doug
Goofiest top ever........1967 triumph spitfire enters the conversation.
Whoever designed the Countach must have had spaghetti marijuana Bolognese for lunch
you need to make a FULL DDE garage tour their garage is awesome
Someday I'll find an English-language channel hosted by an Eastern European car enthusiast. This level of attention given to Ladas, Trabbys, Zastavas, and Wartburgs...
Well I mean the Aging Wheels guy has a Trabant... And he made a video about a Yugo
Uncomfortable, loud, expensive, terrible ride....good honest review. Thanks.
Goofiest? Citroën C3 Pluriel entering the chat
TIP #1 Watch Tyler's early very creative content when he actually did things with his cars. Now he just ferries them to the mechanic. Yawn.......
Hoovie needs to find someone to make a custom top out of carbon fiber. Maybe a video for 'B Is For Build' to do.
It’s fine....
Beautiful cars and the evolution of the presentation of the engine was nice to see. I was actually interested in seeing more of Hoovie's Prowler. He really did a great job on that car and I think it is highly underrated. Again, great job Shmee. Keep up the great work! BTW since I live in California I am so jealous of people who live in states or countries that do not require a front license plate. Cars look so much better from the front without the plates. The only convenience is coming out out a parking structure and not having to put my parking ticket in the kiosk because my front plate was recognized. That is literally the only convince I have found for the car owner.
Inside of hoovies Murcielago reminds me of an 80s Mc Donalds.
I love it. If I had the money to buy a Lambo I'd much perfer the Countach, as it has a manual transmission. Please keep the great content coming. Thank you.
Ed Bolian would not like you guys mispronouncing Mercielago
V12 600 HP WITH PADLE SHIFT IS ALMOST A JOKE
It really does look like a toupee!
Shmee: The most well mannered channel on all of ROworld
Love that white countach
🤌Murcielago🇮🇹
Meanwhile, in the current generation MX5....
Hard to believe that’s the stock roof for one of most legendary v12 Lambo roadsters! Idk if that’s custom roof or a factory roof. With all they brilliant engineering of the Murciélago it’s hard to believe they had that poor of a design for that beautiful beast
It’s the factory roof. Lol
Shmee150 is the only thing awkward there
1. Buy a drop-top Murcielago 2. Sell the top parts on eBay 3. Drive the car in warm, sunny weather 4. Buy a gated Murcielago coupe 5. Finally enjoy the Lamborghini experience
“Taco Tuesday blow out”...I just spit a liter of beer all over my Murcielago. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shmee, you need to address the sound quality of your US videos.
#lmfao 😂😂😂😂
Niceee
Why does this hoovie guy not fix the cars properly, litrally all his cars have issues?
Vale Murray walker
That roof on the Murcie like Hoovie is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS😛😝. Lol.........😜
shmee you really need to do something to your mic
Those Murcielago roofs are over $18,000. You have to buy them in 3 pieces. And they are made just as crappy as the Dodge Viper and Lotus Elise tops.
Can't wait till the Diablo has it time on here. I absolutely love the Diablo
This guy is funny... The roof of the murcie is unreal, very hard to watch, cant believe they made it this way🙈
I still say Hoovie sold the wrong car.
Not once did Hoovy giggled like a schoolgirl.
Man the giggling is seriously tiresome and it's getting worse.
Tyler's Hoovie's channel is definitely in my top 10 ROworld automotive channels and never miss a video! I find his personality is best with someone in the scene (He kills it with comedy on the Car Trek videos) something like the master of awkwardness! Now Shmee is the king of constant car content and the always flowing dialogue alone can keep one into the video from start to finish! But I will say ~ I don't care for the intro and outro catch phrases.
That's what happens when "now, let's do a convertible !" decision comes after the car was fully designed , awkwardness 😂
HOOLLYYY... that was the most PAINFUL soft top install to watch hahahaha
It looks like a replica????
Tim: “This is the goofiest roof mechanism ever.” Porsche Boxster Spyder 1st gen: 😬
The Muci upholstery quality looks awful
Oof audio :(
"Interesting" louder than engine;get a Bugatti Hoovie 👍🏻
Wieeeezarrrd
Blame it to italians 🤣
Might be the first person in history not to shut off the camera to complete the roofing process. Thank you.
Man I can't stress to you how much I love Lamborghini's. I love the old vintage one's like the contach and diablos. To even the modern classic like the murcielargo. To even the latest snd greatest the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.
Stunning to look at. Not so much to drive distance. I think they are perfect for driving 20km to cars and coffee on a sunny day. Nothing looks better than Tylers 3 Lambo collection.
I o bela seniora lamprochini 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I've got a tent from Halfords that works better than that roof.
I would like to know the person(s) who designed that roof. What were they thinking😂😂
Been waiting for this for years. Hoovie is a great guy.
Tyler is awesome ! Youre awesome too!
I saw you were making the video about Zonda R, when you gonna post?
+=1==7==1==9==3==5==3==8==3==0==3

The Buzzing problem was the BLINKER most likely Haha 🤣🤣🤣
Bloody ads

why does shmee always sound out of breath
10:15 "goofiest roof mechanism ever" Are you sure? What about the citroen c3 convertible
Tyler seems like such a top bloke! Quirky, funny and nice chap! I have subscribed to his channel.
More lights than a Christmas tree on that dash 😂😂
Day 1 of Asking who's behind the camera.
puppi150
What's up with the sunglasses ?
Lamborghini Murcielago roadster comes with its own yarmulke for Sabbath Saturday. Nice (no offense guys just jokes)
oh my god the Lambo are amazing....
Fitting the roof could be a test on The Krypton Factor.
The wooden quit distally pat because blouse electronically pine barring a grandiose lettuce. receptive, impolite dew
The 2001 VT is the best looking Lambo imo y'know (with the 300ZX) Headlights!
Love his collection.
That Mercielago roof mechanism has got to be some of the worst product design I’ve ever seen. What were Lamborghini thinking?
Shmee is painfully unhelpful in the interests solely of his video...chuckling away while watching someone else work away is just off...
Stradman has two v12s too
Tyler is loving this @15:07
McLaren 720s spider, 11 seconds to get the roof up or down. Hmmmmm.
That Murciélago is insane! Looks very beautiful, but that roof tho... 😂 OMG!
I love this. Tyler is my favorite car youtuber
That roof is def a no no lol. I bet it’s a $100,000 tent replacement from Lamborghini
