We have all heard of "a pride of lions" and "a flock of sheep", but how about automotive equivalents? Here are a few ideas.......

A "pretence" of Camaros
A "hiss" of Cobras
A "roadblock" of mini-vans
A "troupe" of Midgets (Think about that one)
A "swarm" of 'B's
A "bore" of Oldsmobiles
A "herd" of Stags
A "pose" of Ferraris
A "squadron" of Spitfires
A "range" of Alpines
A "drool" of E-Types

You get the idea. Let's see how how ridiculous (or profound) we can get.

A bank of Silver Shadows? (think fog bank. A bit tenuous that one). A ring of Star Sapphires? (Armstrong Siddeley, obscure I suppose, but the easy ones are taken!) A court of Princesses. A squadron of Spitfires would most likely be met by a Staffel of (Porsche) Speedsters. A herd of Stags should watch out for a pride of Jaguars. Or a pack of Hunters. Of course, you only ever need one Escort.....

Oh, wait a sec. A pit of Cobras, naturally, and to continue on a theme, a pair of Aces is all you really need.
