== Adding records discussion on Hitchwiki' FB page ==
no need to have a "--> ... opinion (add yours): "-tag under each discussion. Just blows the whole talk page nedlessly up. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 19:01, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
Hitchwiki (Mikael Korpela) posted the link to this record page in the Facebook Hitchwiki page and added the question: any records to add?
--> Frank's opinion: include in the record list
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: This is very worthy of inclusion!
- Alexey Vorov, for fastest around the world hitch, 20 days.
--> Frank's opinion: include in the record list
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: Abso-flucking-lutely!
- biggest number of rides in 24hrs, Jake de Vries claimed 11 rides, which was answered by Koen and Stefan 32 rides
--> Frank's opinion: include in the record list, at the same time this record is very, very easy to break.
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: Utter bollocks. My lifetime average stands at 5.4 rides per day, and I absolutely hate days with 7,8, 9 or more rides! What's the flipping use of having to wait 31 times between rides?
- biggest number of grouped up hitch-hikers that got a ride. Guillaume claimed 6, Tom Moon claimed 7, but then Jimmy Comamala mentioned that they got a ride from an empty coach when their coach broke down, 52 people.
--> Frank's opinion: we cannot include the 52 people claim before we have a discussing weather a train full of refugees, who do not have to pay for their transportation - humanitarian help - may be considered hitch-hiking. The harsh it is for these people, such transportation meets some of the key hitch-hiking criteria: getting a ride without paying for it and by asking for it from otherwise strangers.
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: Once was part of a group of 12 people that got a ride in an empty bus. The 52 people claim is iffy, and as for refugees juming on trains? Please pass me a bucket, that has '''nothing''' to do with hitchhiking, even though it might share some of the characteristics!
- biggest distance "driving your driver" by Frank Verhart. The longest distance I drove in the car of a driver was 781 km, from service station Gralla on the A9 near Graz to service station Medenbach Ost on the A3 near Frankfurt/M. Total distance that I've driven drivers is 1382 kms during four rides.
--> Frank's opinion: sure it ain't a world record c'mon - at the same time if nobody claims more - then why not. I think that driving the driver is some kind of achievement ;).
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: I think it might warrant inclusion as it's relatively rare.
- Hitchwiki, for being the biggest hitchhiking website
Submitted by Kasper Souren
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: Sigh...
- Tom Moon for hitchhiking lap record for the Circuit de Monaco,
--> Frank's opinion: funny, but relevance is sufficient?
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: Definitely, and although [[Singapore]] springs to mind, I'm not sure how many others could be included.
--> [[User:Fverhart|Frank]]'s opinion: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_de_Spa-Francorchamps Spa-Francorchamps] - and many others?
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: Spa is no longer a public road!
Finally, some claims that are clearly not relevant (not all included here)
--> Frank's opinion: irrelevant for the list
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: I think having records per country could be quite interesting.
--> Frank's opinion: randomness, not a record
--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: Tony Hawks hitched with a fridge... A Dutch guy with a caravan. [[Ken Welsh]] had an entry in "Hitchhikers Guide to Europe" for "Weirdest ride"...
