A Herd of Porsches? Surely we can do better than that?

[gmk666]

The title of XJSJohn's thread started me thinking. What are the collective nouns of cars?

I'll start:

A beard of 993s
An emission of Cayennes
A Rohl of GT3s
A pirouette of GT2s
A replica of 1973 RSs
An arrogance of 3-series BMWs
A mince of Mini convertibles
A flatbed of TVRs

A toolbox of TVRs

You may have touched on somthing here Prius drivers are a smug bunch every time I pass one driving down picadilly they give you a 'look' i actualy think we should all encourage people to buy these cars as a type of carbon ofsetting by proxy.
conversttion alond the lines of "hi bo im looking at buying a new car any ideas what i should get- why yes buy a pirus and ofset my carbon footprint"
In fact we could set up a peer to peer carbon exchange

A bland batch of Porsches ?

Hope it's more successful than my last conversation with a Prius owner. I spent about an hour arguing who was more environmentally friendly. Her in her brand new smugmobile that would be thrown away when its battery pack becomes un-rechargeable or me in my secondhand (and therefore recycled) 997 that would probably be around for decades...
