Rover with a capital R is a prestigeous make of car in the UK going back to the 1920's and still manufacturing fine cars today. Formaly owned by
British Leyland, Honda and BMW they are now independant after a management
buy-out. Rover of course gave Land Rover and Range Rover to the world many years ago which are still the
benchmark off-roaders.

That white oversized beach-balloon thing off of the cult 1960s psychological British spy TV-show "The
Prisoner" (the one with Patrick McGoohan).
Rover acts as the disciplinary force in a disguised detention centre for spies ("the village"). Upon finding an
escapee,
rover pounces on them and knocks them out, then carries/drags them back.
Example:
Patrick McGoohan almost escaped in the first episode of "The
Prisoner", but then Rover caught him and
foiled his escape :/

British Cars ever made:

And some of the Worst:

A Car Company ultimately undeserving of its tragic demise, but aided by imcompetent, greedy management: Kevin Howe, the 'Phoenix Four', BMW.

a shame that Rover have gone out of business, even though they haven't made a decent car for years.
2. The
ration packs are in the back of the 'rover.

A large boy who wears
tails and thinks
dragons really exists. They are people who are usually fat and only talk about
video games.
