Seems to have 4 division vent at the boot 1972 Volkswagen 1302? |

Boot? You mean the hood, right? |

No, he means the engine cover, the hood is found only on the top of a drophead coupé. -- Last edit: 2016-01-03 20:33:28 |

@ingo: Yes, or even a 1973 1300. |

@john, now I'm confused. I'd think rjluna2 would use trunk, not boot, but still it can't be seen from here. Over there he would call this engine cover a hood, wouldn't you, rjluna2? Or bonnet for you John. But can that be at the rear? On the other hand they are often referred to (on Beetles) as deck lids, with or without a space, but a deck lid usually covers the luggage.... Is that why rjluna2 called it a boot... |

A boot is a British word for trunk Maybe I am thinking of reverse, shall I say this is bonnet (engine cover lid) I am talking about? |
◊ 2016-01-04 02:36 |
That was what I was wondering. Perhaps engine and luggage cover/lid would be easier for these Pushwagons |

The problem I am having is I am thinking of this method: The bonnet is for the front lid and the boot is for the rear lid |

That works well for most cars. But, then the bonnet is not always covering the engine.... But as @Gamer pointed out the hood (bonnet) usually does. For the mix of words, I have learned my English in school as a foreign language, mostly UK-English, but also from US movies, so I use a little of both.... Btw, @rjluna2, just guessing, you wouldn't be from the UK, would you? |

I have always like the British English language, so I wanted to take advantage to use it here |

It's all great fun. Bonnet = Hood Hood = Top Boot = Trunk Wing or Mudguard = Fender Spanner = Wrench Gudgeon pin = Wrist pin Windscreen = Windshield Earth = Ground Perspex = Plexiglass Dashboard = Instrument panel Starting handle = Crankhandle Just a selection, English first, followed by what I believe to be the transatlantic version. The problem with rear engined cars is that the English usage of bonnet is expecting a front engine, hence my use of engine cover. If you are buying stuff for elderly automobiles it is always best to request pictures or part numbers if the vendor is not in your country. I have purposely kept clear of coachwork styles, it's a minefield. -- Last edit: 2016-01-04 16:40:06 |

@rjluna2: You do realize that you are probably on Snowden's list, with this comment? |

I think, we all are to find in those databases. |
