I was just going to mention the absence of any comments from Mr Mason.

The more I find out about his affiliations and his 'codes' scheme the less I like the look of it! There is a very clear defining line between Franchised Dealers and the 'Independant' sector. How can he claim to represent both? The Manufacturers and many of their Dealers have been using every underhand trick in the book to undermine the Independant's ability to repair their cars in recent years.

Why would someone inextricably linked to the Franchised Dealers Association want to 'support' the independants?

The answer - £2.6 million turnover!

I personally don't want to be associated with an organisation populated almost entirely by franchised dealers - I value my reputation too highly!
