Esprit far from home

[WayneB]

Just trying to get myself on the new member map (for a while I was in Kazakhstan)

I began to wonder(like you do)

Whos car is the furthest from the Lotus factory at Hethel?

Somewhere in Australia?

Did Lotus have anything to do with the car NASA left on the moon?

They were meant to drive it back, but the gearbox...

Australia has gotta be the furthest from the factory?

Anyone got the brains to work out if the EXACT opposite

side of the world to Lotus is actually land mass at all?

Come on, who's got a globe then?

[WayneB]

Im betting its New Zealand

Or Tazmania

Remember Kylie from New Zealand?

Kylie Smith

Or Graeme Simpson?

Never heard of Borat or BoSelecta

If its funny send it over ,I will watch anything

We already have the Head crusher though, on the KITH show

[hovgaard]

Borat and Ali G were very funny, and they did get sent over, they just didn't catch on over there.

Now I remember Borat!

Yes he was a character on the Ali G show

It did a quick season here, but I think most people thought he was a real person

I think Ali G went over the heads of most Americans, although the few episodes I did watch were pretty painful

Graeme Simpson says he is GMT +12hrs and 45 degrees south

It looks like his car is the furthest from Hethel

I spotted a Stephens Esprit on a freeway near Auckland a couple of years ago.

NZ has to be one of the best places in the world for Lotus driving: small population = little traffic, but lots of winding country roads. You just have to watch out for the sheep!

[Toua]

I love Ali G.... respect!

[Guest Chelsea Martyn]

rishkimesh!!!!

I ferkin lurv eet!

I know of one in Tahiti and several in Hawaii.

Since they are very close to the date line opposite of the UK i would suspect it would be one of them.

Used to have 3 Lotus cars in Hawaii in my younger years. Now in the frigid temps of Minnesota a few hundred miles south of Canada.

Yes, but they're still in the Northern Hemisphere, therefore not closer than the south Island of New Zealand, which is the closest decent sized land mass to the point on the globe diametrically opposite the UK.

Perhaps that's why Kiwis sound like South Pacific Poms.

Ali G was never going to catch on in the states, much like many other great programs like 'Yes Minister'/'Yes Prime Minister' et al. It's ironic that the loop wasn't closed really, since Ali G is really just a brilliant satire of the British adaptation of an element of (the insidious and all-pervasive) American culture (hip-hip culture).
