A "boatload" of Explorers
An "ill fated" Expedition (not strictly by the rules, but I couldn't resist)

A "train" of Ranch Wagons (going deep here, a Ford Station Wagon from the '70s)
A "tribe" of Navajo
"four" Aces (any more would be cheating...)
A "horde" of Marauders

Dont think I saw this one, but a bunch of McLaren F1s would obviously have to be called a grid, wouldn't they? Alternately:
