I used to have an old 510 fix it manual and the goons were called estate cars I believe, and the 510 car is a saloon. Here's more:

 

boot...... trunk

bonnet....hood

dampers..shocks

sump.......oil pan

 

Up here in Canada we say 280 Zed but we don't say Zed Zed Top.

What's a goon? :P

 

That would be the Haynes manual. Most of those were written in the UK and sold here throughout the 70s and 80s. And as such, use all the Queen's English names for everything. As we all should. ;)

Oh, I knew what it meant. I just thought it was funny that in the same post where you mentioned them using different/odd names for stuff, you used one. ;)
