After being hiddden behind steelies and hubcaps for the last 10,000 km, the rear rotors (the new ones installed at 5000 km, actually, now that I think of it) were rusty/nasty. I went to a steep hill and reversed down (why oh why does our car get limited to 30 km/h in reverse, it seriously must be a legacy of the Elch-test). I got it up to over 50 because it was a steep hill (free-falling) and after two 300 m long braking sessions, the rotor on the RR is looking pretty good, although the one on the LR still has a couple of rusty rings on it.
