I’m guessing that’s what we would call a flea market, or a swap meet.

In the United Kingdom, a car's trunk is referred to as the “boot,” and the hood as the “bonnet.” We've learned a lot of “Britishisms” watching Top Gear on iTunes.

A car boot sale is a peculiarly British event where people gather up unwanted items from their house, drive to a field very early on a sunday morning, and sell stuff from the “trunk” (sorry, i’m English, I find it hard to use that term!) to other people.
A bizarre phenomenon
