Like everything it's all down to personal taste.
It's not so much the front end compression that bothers me but more the bodyside. Looking back through your photos and those of many others, it is the ones where the livery detail and numbers/letters can still be made out that appeal to me the most and invariably these are the ones taken on a lower telephoto setting.
