 Posted: Wed Jun 29, 2022 5:49 pm Post subject: Just for fun...collective nouns |
 |
|
One might refer to a fleet... or even a hoard of cars but what if we could we ascribe our own collective nouns to various makes or models of vintage and classic cars?
One of my customers suggested we might enjoy using our imagination if we have time to spare. His suggestion was for a "blower" of Bentleys....
My input is a rather predictable "flock" of Swallows ... but what can you all come up with? |

A Volume of Volvos
A Cowshed (or Byre) of Morris's
A Dunking ( perhaps a Doughnut) of Fords

Surely it would be a Mog of Morrises, or perhaps an Ox of Morrises. And a Chevron of Citroens.

A Fit of FIATs. A Pride of Peugeots. A Luftwaffe of BMWs. A pack (Wolfsburg) of VWs.

A flight of Spitfires, a putter of Jowetts (2-cylinders ones, anyway), a flock of 1930s Rileys, a haze of Daimlers, a quiver of Lancias.

A splash of Fords.
A flutter of Standards.
