Hmm hard to explain I guess.

It's not really like a flea market (I don't think) and not a yard sale.
It's where people fill their cars with things to sell from their house/attic and go to organised 'car boot sale' events, which are generally held in fields at the weekend. They then set up a table at the back of their car and unload the things they have to sell onto it. Then other people come along and see if there is anything they want to buy. So quite literally it is what it says - it's a sale from your car boot!!

haha, that sounds really odd doesn't it 

I'm sure someone else could explain it better than me 

that sounds AMAZING!!! Where on earth do you find out about when and where these go on?

Thanks everyone! Didn't go to one this weekend due the rain but hoping the weather is nice next weekend so I can see if I can find some more 

UrocyonFox - They are generally held in the same fields/places regularly i.e. once a week, once a fortnight or once a month.
The one I went to I have driven past a couple of times so I knew where it was and I'm pretty sure it's there every Sunday.

Many also advertise in local newspapers and place posters by the roadside.
