the fact that he hasn't replied may also mean that he's too embarrassed after being shot down in flames for making an uninformed comment about a members car obviously not knowing it was a members car?

I picked it up as if they knew each other. Could be a spoof but could be way off base. Ian's mini is anything but full of filler. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter tho.
