I don't give a toss down to the inch. From looking at the car it looks
around a foot at either end - a small distance, not a metre, not a long

I got by with a metre on a saloon, but with the Tractor its much
harder to see what you are doing, 1.8 is a conservative figure I
reckon.

Yes, if the method involves continuing to reverse until you have pushed
the other car far enough to get in :-)
