V12 Engine Temperature

V12 Engine Temperature
Hi all
I have recently installed new thermostats as per Grants advice as used the Tridon TT228-180 units
So far so good, however just want to check with you experienced V12 owners of where my temp should sit.
As per the picture below, she runs quite a bit below the N on open highway and sits inside the N when town driving.
It is very consistent and it seems fine, but does it sit too low for open road?
Any thoughts here?
Cheers

Every single thing in this picture looks ideal, except you'll want to fuel up, and toss in some Archoil fuel treatment followed up with the oil friction modifier for 30% reduction in heat/friction ...but thats just my personal opinion.
My car with stock radiator, dead squirrels in between the grille, and hot summer weather still runs about the same on highway and jumps all around in city traffic, though you see alot more gauge movement when you run mostly water. If your concerned about temps a proper digital gauge wouldn't hurt, autometer is good, and you can hide a gauge inside the center armrest console if its too unsightly for the dash.
