well I may be repeating others but since Delica's climb so well I thought of using a goat collective name.

A Trip of Delica or a Tribe of Delica both sound good to me. Here is where I got the info from http://www.hintsandthings.co.uk/kennel/collectives.htm

I could see a "tribe of Delica drivers" ~ but I think the Delicae are above tribe, personally.

A "delta of Delicas"? I still like "cete" (pronounced "set", as in "cetane").

In an onomatopoeic vein, how about "Rumble" of delicas? And some of you might relate more to "Frustration" of delicas :-( Or conversely, "Amour" of delicas :-D I'll always think "Pack" though, they're just so dog-like to me :?

On that vein, how about a "Harmony" of delicas from a group of Hummingbirds - funny that 'cause their ornery little devils - nothing harmonious about them at all, always bickering and fighting! A little like us sometimes I suppose... :? :o :-D :-D :M

I just had a thought. I was looking at the Miss Lil' Bitchi from the front and I was studying how the mirrors looked like the floppy ears of pigs. Then suddenly I saw her as an Asian Pot Belly Pig... cool. So how about a "drove" of Delicas? Drove of pigs ~ drove of Delicas. "Oh look... here comes a drove of Delicas, driving down the road... Delicas like to play in the mud ~ seems reasonable to me....

Anybody else notice the two-year revival nature of this thread? Somebody did some digging...
