I was wondering... is there a collective noun for TVRs?
e.g. a thunder of TVRs, or maybe a roar of TVRs?

Before all the tin-top/euro/jap brigade stick their oars in, a breakdown of TVRs or a mess of TVRs or similar isn't funny.

The collective name for Griffiths is "Growl", hence the name of the annual gathering.

Collective for Sagaris is an "Armoury".

I like the onomatopoeic spelling of cacophony

Maybe the 'cough' was the important part.

A grip of Griffs?

I remember someone asking a similar question regarding a collective name for a group of scrutineers at an MAC event years ago and one bright spark suggested a "scrotum of scrutineers".

Might apply here I suppose.....

Surely with "Creating some weather" heritage it should be "A Storm of Cerberas".

Well, seeing as the word Chimera relates to an ancient fire breathing monster, how about a 'Wrath' or a 'Weyr' or even a 'Bestiary'?

Ha ha
