Boot and Bonnet: boot refers to the trunk of your car. Did I mention the car boot sale? Its like a swap meet. People sell the stuff out of the boot (trunk) of their cars.
And bonnet is the hood of the car. And you don't 'pop the bonnet' like we 'pop the hood' but 'lift the bonnet.'
Of course, there's lorrie for truck. And they use people carrier for mini-van but there aren't many of those over here. Saw my first Dodge vehicle - one of those new station wagons. Fords are very popular but other than the Escort, the models are different. And the Escort over here is very different with a lot more varieties of it.
I've actually seen a hummer here in the City. Which makes no sense. It would not be possible to drive it down about half the streets as they aren't wide enough. I've only seen it parked in my neighborhood and not actually moving. Wonder if maybe they had it flown in for show and don't drive it :-)
