Leaky cars

My mother's cousin had a Focus and that used to leak eater into the book. The boot leaking definitely seems to be an issue on Fords.

There were actually two leaks. One was around the light cluster, easily fixed with a load of silicone. The other was water getting under the rubber seal around the boot, between the two panels of the car (outer skin and panel inside the boot) due to a gap in places between the two where they join under the seal, then running down into the back of the boot. Hopefully that makes sense. Took the seal off, put a load of silicone on it, put it back on and now waiting for it to dry. See what happens tomorrow.

If it still leaks in the morning I will cry. The floor of the boot has been in our attic for ages. It got so wet it started falling apart and held loads of water so steamed up the back window all the time. Will be nice to get it all back together properly.

I did drill 4 or 5 holes in the spare wheel space which helped a bit. When we were running the hosepipe earlier there was loads of water running straight into the boot. It also drips onto anything on the left side of then boot.

What is a boot? The trunk?

Yes. And a "hood" is really called a bonnet. And "tires" are really tyres. And "windshield" is really called a peepscreen.

You are all insane. Anything to be different right? Even the way you write the date!

It's yoooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu who changed it. This is what happens when you don't have a monarch. Everything just goes to shit.

Maybe that's why we change it, if it was indeed us who did the changing. Maybe we were just tired of the dumb way things were named! I could see that happening!

Do you have car-boot sales? or car-trunk sales?

Or is everything just a garage sale? Do you even know what a car-boot sale is?

Never heard of them!  We do have garage and yard sales so I assume it's a sale out of the trunk of your car?

So do you even know what junk in the trunk means?!?!

I've seen that before, some of the names given to things over there are head scratchers!  I am betting some of those aren't really used, right? I mean, who the fuck would say whimsy filmsy mark and scribbler when you could just say pen or pencil?

A boot fayre (or "car boot sale" if you're boring) is where a bunch of people drive their cars into a field, set up tables and/or blankets, then cover them in a bunch of shit they don't want any more and try to sell it for a dollar or two.

I was at one the other day and one of the stalls had an actual pick axe, which I was very tempted by, but I didn't want to have to carry it back and didn't want to attempt to explain Minecraft to my family nor any police who would have inevitably pulled me over and searched my car. :C

We call those flea markets or swap meets.  Although those really have nothing to do with the trunk of a car.  Most people have motorhomes or trailers and haul their shit from sale to sale.

Ours have a lot to do with the boot of the car.

People basically selling out of their boots.

You know pick axes are perfectly legal, right?
