Lad, the 'boot' is the trunk. You popped the hood if you were
looking at the engine. (A panoply of 1960's VW Bug jokes pop into my
mind -- I only did around 100,000 miles in Alpines and other Rootes
Group cars but I did about 600,000 miles in air-cooled VeeDubs, back
in the day.)
If you popped the boot and saw the engine, well, it is time to check
in for some medical assistance on your meds. <he grins>
