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>
