If you are practicing "English", then you refer to the "bonnet" support
rod, the "hood" being that which protects the inside of the motor car
from rain when raised, and is located immediately forward of the boot
lid, and rear wings.

I had a broken one but I threw it away, sorry! I got a new one at the
dealer a year or so back and, miraculously, it was very inexpensive.

Call 'em and ask or look he

In college, I worked part-time as a mechanic that specialized in
Jaguars. One customer came in to buy some wheel bearings. When asked if
he needed them installed, he said he had an official shop manual, and
would do it himself.

After a couple of hours, he called. We asked how it was going. He
replied he was doing fine...but was having trouble locating the
knaveplates.

("Knaveplate" was British for "wheel cover." Doing fine, indeed!)

DEFINITIONS. (in American English.)

A "bonnet," I know this viscerally, is a kind of hot hot hot pepper in a
restaurant that DON'T YOU EVER, NO NO NO, I SWEAR TO GOD take, on a
"friend's" challenge, to eat one whole, it sets all your innard afire.
And beware your so-called "friends." For they aren't.

A hood beats you up, steals your goods, and sneers at you. All the rest
would be endurable without the sneer.

It's a cruel world, and anyway none of this has anything to do with the
heavenly Miata, long may she wave. How I wish you drunk *******s could
stay on topic.

Sincerely Yours, Johnny

The "boot" is, of course, what you get at work in these hard times.

Do women still wear bonnets? Only when riding in roadsters?

miker, skipping to my loo...
