Oops. Please forgive the fact that I come from a metric system part of
the world, where we use the symbol ' for minutes and the symbol " for
seconds. I wonder if this was really confusing to a lot of people. In
any case, what I meant was 30 m. (not meters, minutes!) ;)
Of course, as VW enthusiasts, we have all experienced how much more
sense the decimal system makes...

PS: I would really hate to have started a thread on metric vs non metric
systems.
