I think you'd need at least 5 metres to park a Tesla.
Judging by Mrs H's admiring remarks about Mr Del Toro's abdominals, it certainly didn't damage the image of the sport in this neck of the woods!
Don't sweat it, as long as you are enjoying it thats all that matters, certainly some turbo work will help, you'll see some impressive gains over...
