What's a cowl? Is it a bit like a sheepl or a pigl?

It's a car shaped fowl?
(What is a cowl?, I'm assuming it's another one of the bits of a car that they call something different the other side of the pond)

bad pronunciation of 'cool'?

 

[RWright]

cowl (koul)
3. The top portion of the front part of an automobile body, supporting the windshield and dashboard.

thought I would help out judge 3BM. I think I am within the rules.

It is pronounced like owl, with a c in front of it.

Thanks, I don't see why it shouldn't be in it (not that it's me judging it anyway), I'd just not heard of it before, well used in that context, to me it's something a monk wears or part of a chimney.

How can you be 'gravity aided' when you live somewhere as flat as that??

I'll also support this definition, @RWright , though more used in your neck of the woods than mine, where we would call it a hood (hoo-wud) or bonnet (bah-nut)

Has to do more with navigation than Verticality.

We call it hood too but the cowl is the part between the hood and windshield.
