    A big applause for his wife for supporting John and letting him go with his gut feeling. Seriously, much respect for her. She had two kids definitely could say sell that damn thing but no. Seems she really acknowledges his love and passion and good instinct for making great deals.

      Yep, one of my exes was like that, and we ended up with an absolutely crazy cool VW New Beetle, slammed, 18", custom paint, exhaust, everything... - she got to keep it when we split, I had no use for a car and wasn't sure what I was going to do then. Still miss it sometimes because of the work that went into it, but I'd have had no use for a car then, and now much much less - I've a broken back and couldn't even get into a car without help, or drive it. Still love cars, but they are of zero use to me personally unless someone else helps me and drives it.

      She was smart. If she made him sell it he would also resent it. Trusting him to make the decision at the right time paid off for them both. Trust is a wonderful thing!

    John, though I've always liked/appreciated Lamborghinis...they never had the passion for me of some other brands. Until I started watching your VinWiki stories. Your passion, knowledge, and especially family connection with your father, has given me a newfound love and passion for them. Thank you for sharing your passion and your stories with us.

    I love the SE30 Jota. - My dream Diablo when I was a teenager... and it still is nearly 3 decades later!
    1:21 The magazine that John is talking about is the July '95 issue of Performace Car magazine (photos by Roberto Carrer, words by Mark Walton). I bought that magazine back in the day, scanned and archived all the Jota pages before the original mag inevitably disappeared into the abyss of my past. - "Adrenalin has widened my eyes to the point where I feel as though I can no longer blink" - Remember that quote John? 😉

    Always love the SE30 stories from John. Best Lamborghini ever - no discussion about it. But I've also watched so many of John's videos that I've become used to his language patterns. Whenever he says "insanely passionate customer," it's code for "insanely rich customer." :)

    I think Diablo SE30 purple is THE best looking car ever, of ALL cars ever made.
    There are many other great looking cars like Miura, Countach, Lambos overall, 288GTO, Lexus LC, bmw e46 m3, McL F1, F355, Esprite, SLR, 918 and so on, but this purple Diablo SE30 is No1 for me.❤❤

    Those Purple Diablo SE30s are one of my favorite Lamborghinis too ever since I used to read all about them in car magazines in bookstores or wherever. I did a roadtrip across the country to CA in 1997 where I saw one at a dealership in Palo Alto and they actually let me get in it and take a few pics. I still have a 1/18 scale diecast model of it. I wonder how many of the Purple ones were made ?
