<Say it's five after 8, and I
glance down at the temp gauge... HOLY SMOKES I'M OVERHEAT... no,
that's just the minute hand over the temp scale. Repeat fifty times
until you put in a tach equiped instrument cluster in self defense.>

HA! And I thought that I was the only one that did that! Actually, that happened to me several times with my first Vanagon Westy on it's first trip home after picking it up from the seller. It was an Ebay purchase and my first water cooled VW. I was nervous enough over it's condition to begin with, being an Ebay purchase and all. That damn minute hand scare the crap outta me several times on the 400+ miles drive home. Got used to it though, doesn't bother me anymore.    Jeff
