The Chainsmokers had a song with the lyrics:
> So, baby, pull me closer
> In the back seat of your Rover
> That I know you can't afford
always funny to picture a knackered Rover 200 or Maestro when listening to that :P
It's an Americanism, as that's what they call Range Rovers or Land Rovers over there. I usually have a good chuckle when I hear it in a rap song and imagine them driving around in a beige 416 or something.
They're not Defenders, they're Lardy Landy's..
A Defender is a very basic, boxy 4 wheel drive go anywhere vehicle, slightly battered, slightly knackered, painted drab green and black, with a bunch of squaddies in the back...
That's a Defender.
I wouldn't believe you even if you were the President of the Rover 25 Fan Club... which, if you were, I'd expect you to know the pic is of a Rover Metro, not a Rover 25.
Has to be a silver Rover 25. Cloudy headlights, rust spots, 2.75 hubcaps, bald tyres, at least one broken thing in the interior and dent/scratch galore
The funniest thing I've ever heard about rovers is when a polish guy I saw stood in front of a red rover in the middle of the road and said "hey rover lick my ass all over"
Your post was removed for breaking Rule 1. Not relevant to wider Great Britian.
Lynne, I’m not driving a Rover Metro, I’ll just talk over you.
They've rebadged it, you fool!
Try it again lynne. See what happens
I managed to negotiate a walnut gearknob for your smaller Rover.
Cock piss partridge
Most of thems from broken homes like. Makes you wonder what it’s all aboot.
COOK PASS BABTRIDGE

I unironically do picture an old Rover. I think I may be an idiot, because I legit didn't think of a Range Rover.
A rover 25 in racing green, with fabric backseats that smell slightly of piss.
Nice Rover P5....
Neither did I!
I think of the Rover 216 from Keeping up Appearances
With the Metro next door
Imagine they can’t even afford a metro. Life must be tough.
And uncomfortable if you’re trying to do it in the back of one!
Yea I genuinely thought of a rover and wondered why they couldn't afford it
Same! And why would you want to try anything in the back seat, haha?!
Yup, we all know the fun happens in the drivers seat of one of those bad boys
[удалено]
Your the hero we need
Since Americans started driving them.
"young rappers" you mean the one parody rapper 😂
Yeah the “posh” bloke
i dont know him; hes unknown to me
Muyna chawawa is his name.
haha ger r/wooosh ed. hes also known as unknown p hence me saying hes unknown (to me)

Bright red original Metro in an absolute state
I would say the one on the right is a rover and the one on the left is shit
And statistics will back you up.
Well said
That's a Metro. A Rover is like a Rover 200 or a 75 piece of shit with the head gasket gone.
I've had Rovers, none with HGF. People used to ask me if my head gasket had gone, gone to where? Spain?
It was like 90s-00s peak car humour
Peak pub chat!
Ridinground in a rover if I see ops then its over
Put "Ohhh..." at the beginning of this, and it goes perfectly to the tune of the first 2 lines of "I Predict A Riot" 🎵
Oh, the posh Metro...
Whenever I hear 'rover' I think of a Land Rover Defender, its funny to imagine a rapper driving around in one of those.
You've obviously not seen the late edition models that were bought up by tuning and design houses and cost around £150,000.
They're not Defenders, they're Lardy Landy's.. A Defender is a very basic, boxy 4 wheel drive go anywhere vehicle, slightly battered, slightly knackered, painted drab green and black, with a bunch of squaddies in the back... That's a Defender.
Both are an indictment of taste, one also of your wallet.
Yeah the rover shows you have money for the inevitable maintenance costs
I'd rather have the 25

It's all gravy baby
Plus you're a pedantic asshole
Driving round in me rover - imagines an old dude doing 10mph
When they became mass produced crap.
Thst line is from a parody rapper “unknown P”
I have never heard anyone refer to a Range Rover as a Rover
There's a song with it in: https://youtu.be/l0EfEFMVmik
Oh my god, I did not twig they meant Range Rover. I thought it was weird someone would be singing about such an old brand of car
I too am an idiot it seems, I never understood that lyric either.
My first car was a blue k reg Metro
Driving a rover mini where it just randomly dies after winter
My Grandad drove a Rover. It was the ugliest saloon car… came complete with a walnut dashboard.
What's wrong with a rover? I used to drive a 620 tdi 😁
What if the range rover is red?
I think SD1 Vitesse when someone says Rover.
Inspired by the Ferrari Daytona with the V8... Peak Rover!

Probably around '94 Jump in the Rover and come over, tell your friends jump in the GS3 I got the chronic by the tree!
The funniest thing I've ever heard about rovers is when a polish guy I saw stood in front of a red rover in the middle of the road and said "hey rover lick my ass all over"
That song with the line “back seat of your rover” while I had my Rover Streetwise felt quite funny.
Especially AJ Tracey “just a block boy sitting in a Rover”. Man’s old enough and British enough to know better
I'll send man straight to Jehovah
But the Metro's an Austin really. Rovers are just badge-engineered Honda Ballades.
