I don't give it full throttle until the oil temp is showing about 80 -90 degrees C.
I don't think it is feasible to wait until the car is warm before driving. It's a fairly cold blooded engine, so you'll be waiting a while.

This is what I do with all my cars. Get in an go. The engine is only using 20-30 BHP so no stress, just to get going. After the oil gets up to 70 or 80 C I will start to give it more goings.
This should be good in any car as long as you are not using a thicker oil. Then you need to wait until it reaches full temperature, say 90 C.
