Seeing another post referring to a "collection" of Minors, I wondered what other nouns might be suitable...
Fleet and Collection both seem a bit tame. How about a garage, pump, brood, or mould? All suggestions welcome.

A burble of Minors?

In my experience the best would be PUDDLE.
I carry a pouch of kitty-litter for when I park in someone else's drive.

A corrosion of minors sounds a bit cruel, perhaps an old skool of minors, or my favourite a nostalgia of minors

Some of the previous suggestions are very good.
How about a LITTER of Moggies? Or a CLOWDER of Moggies (the Oxford says this is the collective noun for cats). We call them Morries in Oz, so a Moggie is always a cat.
In recognition of the much loved and distinctive exhaust resonance on the over-run, how about a f@rting of Minors.
They are my feeble efforts.
