But hang on! Surely in car terms a Trad, being a pretty old model, is more of a case of someone's granny. Is your friend into Grab a Granny Night down at the local? slap
Mind you one of our cars definitely comes into the "old banger" category.

Mind you your pals line of argument is the same one I use when explaining why I prefer a Fezza to a Porker. Its a bit like comparing Sophia Loren with Angela Merkel. One is attractive. The other is reliable.
