It was a pub on the last roundabout heading south on the A167 south of Neville's Cross.

The roundabout still bears the name though

Fitted reversing camera onto Tourer tailgate earlier today. Took a while to remove the chrome plinth thing as two of the four torx screws holding it onto tailgate were very rusty. After carefully digging away at the rust on them managed to get them undone. Wirebrushed them then soaked them in Jenolite for couple of hours before giving them a coat of aerosol epoxy primer.
Fitted chrome effect reversing camera to the tailgate plinth thing between right hand number plate light and one of the four torx bolt holes. Then refitted it to tailgate. Then it rained so feeding the longer camera wiring through the rubber tube next to tailgate hinge will have to wait for another day.
Happy with how camera fitted to the tailgate looks though.

Drove the 75, the brake pad warning light came on! Front pads are about 20% worn and the rears about 50%. Parked it up and took the R8 coupe instead....

It passed it's MOT with no advisories

The first MOT I've put it in for, since I bought it about 10 months ago.

That a good result, always nice to get a pass with a new motor.
