Congrats, given the temperature. I noticed mine is a bit hotter in the 30C weather here. If I didn't have Realgauge, I wouldn't have known.

That was my greatest fear- that it would spike and then it would be too late. (Not to mention surviving the wait for a tow truck etc.)

It stayed just below the middle the entire trip so I can breather again. I did see a very nice XK8 (gold) the valet brought up. Our cars really do stand out- the rest look homogenized.

I had someone stop me today in the drive through at McDonalds to tell me they loved the car.

....which translates to a possible range of about 185 F to 230 F

Yes- somewhere between everything is ok and Time for a new engine.
