Collective noun for Porsches? A gaggle?

[Harris_I]

Just thinking after a recent Porsche Club run up one of the local mountain roads. 14 Porsches, an M5, a Z8 and a 360 barking, rasping, bellowing, and cackling their way up a 10km mountain road with lots of switchbacks and tightening radius corners. Great fun and the tourists enjoyed the sight as well. Lots of and

Anyway, I described it as a gaggle of Porsches, given that they were cacophonous, swarming and gregarious. The wife disagrees saying that implies Porsches are common, vulgar and unpleasant.

Any ideas?

A Pass of Porsches - they're going so fast its like a fly by.

A Pork of Porsches - errr...no

Of course: A PARADE of Porsches....of course!

Nice One, I Like it although I think a sty is the correct term for a Garage containing a Porsche already...

See under "pig"!

How about a 'formation' of Porsches? Relating to pigs and flying like on that advert...

[Harris_I]

So perhaps we could say a squadron of Porsches? Or continuing the military theme, how about a platoon of Porsches borrowing from Don's alliteration?

A swarm (angry, fluid and volatile, persistent)?
A pack (scavenging, hungry, malevolent, also alliterative)?
A riot (colourful, noisy, anarchic)?
A... right this is getting silly, I'm off to do some work.
