I made it to my mothers house via a water bottle (had to put in 900ml!!!!!!!), and am going to be driving to my home tomorrow...

here's the thing, the whole time, the temp gage on the dash said the following (my ASCII art is bad)

So, I obviously have a lot on my hands. So, what do you guys think of the above? Also, should I replace the hoses, water pump, and them while im at that, do optispart, plugs and wires?

Definitely time for a new radiator. Might as well get the hoses too, while you're in there. Don't worry about the optispark unless it's giving you problems - however a new set of wires can't hurt. Plugs can't hurt, either, just make sure you gap them properly.
