9.30am drove to work, less than 20 minutes, oil temp normally reaches 90-95 degrees.
12.40 drove from work to nearby garage to get 2 new tyres. Less than 1 mile, through traffic. Took 5 minutes. Garage guys moved the car 10 metres into the workshop.
13.20 picked car up, garage guy drives it out 10 metres for me - noticed oil temp was 85 already.
The ambient temp is still pretty warm today, but I was surprised the car had retained such a high oil temp from 3 or 4 hours earlier - did the garage take it for a joy ride?!

Not necessarily so...
The N54 lump retains a fair degree of heat..the temp in the sump will stay there for some time...

Blimey! I thought I had trust issues! 
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Truss issues mate, you have truss issues as your victims keep getting the knots undone and escaping.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

I think the trust issue would be if I blindly trusted random strangers to not be d!ckheads!
