I once read a British car repair manual with a glossary of Brit car part terms to American. It was quite amusing. The "bonnet" is our trunk. "Wing" is a "fender." "Spanner" equals "Wrench."

I'm not so sure about that - what names for parts of an automobile came first and where it came from. Near as I can figure, the Brits were trying to copy the Wright Flyer Aeroplane. Unfortunately, they made the wings too small and the wheels too big resulting in a contraption that was forever doomed to stay on land. They just decided that they would call their invention the dirt plane but still retained the name "wings" for those things by the wheels because they thought that would be funny as shit. I'm fairly sure that that's the way it all went down back in the old days.
