[Mgs] first drive of the year

[Paul Hunt]

Even in temperatures close to freezing and with the heater on (can get hot 
enough to be uncomfortable on our feet) my temp gauge gets about 3/4 the way 
from C to N, i.e. only a little lower than normal, although the radiator 
itself is barely warm.  I'd check the stat by letting it warm up from cold 
and feeling if the radiator gets gradually warm (bad) or suddenly very hot 
as the temp gauge gets near N (good).
