I think you meant he popped the bonnet.  The hood is the folding top. <he

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>
