overheating? or normal?

[StaticNiche_Quattro]

The temp gauge on my '85 4kq stays at about 3/4 during all city driving.
even with the fan turning on every 10 seconds or so it will never get down
to 1/2.  Mine only gets to 1/2 or lower at highway speeds where there's
plenty of airflow.
I'm not sure if my car is normal either, but I do know that it has never
actually overheated and that my radiator was replaced with a brand new one 6
months ago.
I assume that 3/4 is normal, but don't take my word for it.... ask Huw.   :)
