As far as I can remember his only complaint was that you could fit a set of golf clubs in the boot. :)

It's the trunk.

Sorry, fair enough it's the trunk to you. Basically, it's the luggage compartment, as opposed to the engine compartment. Front or back depends upon the car :) You will find it very difficult to find a Porsche with the engine at the front and the 'boot' in the back. Even the VW beetle has it the 'Wrong' way around.

ps. There are no stupid questions, only stupid people who don't ask when they don't understand something. ;)

I agree with the PS :D

And for American audiences when I or a UK person may talk about other cars.


Hatchback: kinda like a shortened station wagon. Small. They are probably the most popular type of car over here.
Estate: Station wagon. ours are a LOT smaller than yours, although Mikey's Hyundai Elantra is identical to one we owned once. Which is very big for us.
Saloon: Sedan.
Super mini: Little tiny things that you consider lawn mowers.

Not too difficult, 944, 968, 928. And of course the Cayanne and the Panorama.
Then there's the 914 and the Boxter which have two trunks. :lol:

And thanks for the info. I always wondered why you were talking about a western bar all the time (saloon).
