And if the windscreen is not tinted, but all the other windows are ...

That's about right.  It shouldn't go much above 130c if you're moving.
 
On another subject, I had a real "quattro moment" late last night, coming back 
from John Robinson's house after playing with his metering head.  Leaving 
Melton Mowbray for Oakham, I was cruising fairly rapidly when a whole host of 
bright lights appeared behind me.  I was soon overtaken by around thirty 
Ducatti motorbikes - so I decided to try and keep up, and managed it fairly 
well.  About ten stayed behind me, and we cruised along at something illegal 
(sometimes doubly illegal) for around ten minutes until we ran into Oakham and 
started to behave ourselves again.  These guys have a lot of fun.
