The post on Takashi in OT is a bit of a worry........

I sincerely hope that Naishou's comments have some substance but that is only for Takashi' sake. If he really has been hurt, I hope he recovers soon.

 

Personally I believe Takashi is alive and well and I think he's doing this because either 1. He's sick of playing the japanese guy with a JDM S2000 on this forum, or 2. He's selling/sold his S2000 (which btw is Aussie spec).

 

I too am begining to think that the post by Christina is not what it seems...see krazik's post

 

I have TK's cell phone number. Maybe I'll call him later today and find out. I sincerely hope this is not true.

 

Or maybe sincerely hope it is true? I'd rather that he's a fraud than that he's seriously injured. I have always had some doubts about Takashi (see this), since he never seemed to want to meet anyone - there was always some excuse. I also wondered because the place name in Japanese in his profile under "from" does not exist. His "biography" is just an incomplete section cribbed from the Honda Japan website. I once sent him a PM in Japanese which he replied to in English and didn't seem to fully understand. When PLAYLIFE saw him on the road I was genuinely surprised, and now PLAYLIFE seems to know more than the rest of us somehow. Personally, if PLAYLIFE says that he's not Japanese (and seems to say so with some authority) then that's enough evidence for me that "Christina" is not telling the truth. The first thing that put me onto it was the style of English in the post - it's exactly like Takashi. Oh well, perhaps we'll learn more in time.

 

well actually, the place under his name really does say tokyo ken, or tokyo prefecture. pefectly good japanese.

but i agree, i'd rather a fraud than an injury. either is crappy.

 

Can you tell us how you know this? I think I remember a thread where you saw him in traffic in Kensington. Is that the incident? So what's the story? Is he a gaigin? Is his car not a VGS?

The guy's been posting like mad recently. Over 3000 posts. But I also note he's been trying to sell all sorts of stuff and having little success.

i just dont understand why someone would come on here and say Takashi is injured and make up this whole dam story.
does Takashi own people $ on here or something and using this reason to get away??

 

Not to imply that this is a hoax, but the same sort of thing happened on the rec.motorcycle newsgroup a few months back. A message was posted by the parents of a regular poster... saying that their son was killed in a motorcycle accident. After a few hundred "OMG No!" posts, the departed rider turned up, saying that one of his friends had posted the message as a joke while he was out of town. Accusations flew around, and several veteran posters disappeared, giving up on the 'community'. I personally haven't been back to the newsgroup since.

Hmmm... I know I had a point when I started writing this... I can't seem to remember it. Anyways.... I hope Takashi is ok.
