Bogliq By Design Presents...
MY95 Diarrhoea ChaChaCha
Crazy Chinese and their weird use of English, hahaha!
Irrational Inspiration for The Lore
Early in 1990, Bogliq by Design (BbD) was approached by the senior management of Kunming Revolutionary Automotive Prefecture (KRAP) to design an inoffensive budget sportscar they could have ready for the 1995 Model Year. BbD was willing, so they developed a test mule and displayed it to KRAP’s delegation who were delighted with the product.
The Real Inspiration for The Car
KRAP then proceeded to set up a factory, tooled up for the car, then fitted an Ardent Export inline six. The new KRAP coupe was a sweet performer with a chassis tune perfectly calibrated for regular track days.
Much to BbD’s horror, when attending the car’s Chinese Domestic Market launch, BbD found that the car was named Diarrhoea, because someone at the US embassy said “That’s the fastest thing in the known universe”, plus they’d named the variant ChaChaCha as the same attache said that Beevis and Butthead were an American cultural staple and thus very, very popular!
Bogliq by Design were able to persuade the KRAP management to re-name the car for export, but the local car would keep it’s unfortunate nomenclature… As for the attache, he was quietly sent home so he’d not face the wrath of the CCP when they realised he was at fault!
OOC: @VicVictory and I built a coupe for the 1995 Budget Sportscar Challenge but, since I don’t join random Discord servers, I didn’t end up submitting. The name was a spur of the moment shared giggle and it doesn’t make any sense now, hence why I’ve shared the Youtube clip which started this ball rolling!
