Good stuff guys :-). With a temp gauge solution immanent, I now am curious 
of the reason I wanted one in the first place.  The car overheated on me on 
a track day I did a while back only after about 10 min of hard driving.  No 
idication other than it started running funny, and I slowed down and crawled 
into the pits only to realize the fan was not running.  Turns out I melted 
the temp switch in both the med and hot sensors, and therefore NO FAN!   I 
turned it off, and best I can tell I didn't break anything.  Any ideas why 
it would heat up so high?   ---JCG
