The 7 o'clock position is below the 'quarter' mark and equates to around 60°C. Isn't that rather too cool?

Not having tried this, although from experience driving at low speeds, for half an hour (traffic jams) I could easily imagine it could take longer than half an hour to reach 75 (9 o'clock) without any load.

To the OP, have you been (or neighbour) taken it for a run yet?
