Brettus.

Thanks for this. It was one of those momentary laughs. Good for you to spot it, and perhaps saving the seller from being beaten with a stick when someone bought it for a whole pile of $$ and THEN found out.

People who are ignorant shouldn't be selling the items. I mean, he said specifically in a Q&A there that it IS a 20B. So either he was trying to pettle it off and hope for someone to buy it for too much, or he was genuinely mistaken *Hence the ignorance*. Either way, lol's were had.

He means 0-100 Kilometers per hour. Which would be 0-62 mph. 6.2 sounds right.
You can tell he means KPH by his 177 kw rating.
