--> [[User:Prino|Prino]]'s opinion: I think it might warrant inclusion as it's relatively rare.
: Robert. I noticed that your fastest in your carreer ride (congrats!) happened at the same time as my "driving your driver" 781 km =D. Quite a little coincidence! I've already included my 781 km in the list. Would you recommend me to contact our colleagues in Lithuania and Russia to see if they know anyone who "drove his driver" over a longer distance. As stated before, I'm very sure others have "driven their drivers" over a longer distance than me. But as long as nobody claims... it would be at least fair to verify this with LT and RU. What is your thought on that. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:48, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
 
: Stefan, have you heard of anyone who drove his driver more than me? Kasper told me to ask you and Vladas about it, so here I am. Kasper by the way drove his driver once for about 600 kms (Nancy-Avignon). I wouldn't mind inclusion of this effort of course :) --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:50, 22 September 2015 (CEST)

You had two chances to bring up some arguments and start a discussion. Still i am looking for any answer to my question, why you just copy paste the old article under the new one? Why you put your record twice into it, if it is already included? What is your intention with your rude behaviour? Why do we need every entry from the Land´s End record? No reaction.
::: The lowest and highest temperatures encountered while hitchhiking and the money given to a hitchhiker are three records that have absolutely nothing to do with hitchhiking. I do not know why they were ever added to the VAK page, and neither do I feel any sympathy for Ken Welsh "Slowest ride between two points", when no sane hitchhiker would ever spend 4:30 on a milkfloat to cover a distance they could have covered on foot in 30 minutes.

::: It makes a lot of sense to try to break a hitch-hiking records. What is a record if there is no sense of "improving" it? And breaking the 32 rides is actually a lot easier for me than going to Russia in the freaking cold as I have truly no wish to do so, as it will cost me a month and I would have to buy visa which I by principle do not want. Giving 300+ euro to a hitch-hiker is not an option for me as well, unless you give me that money, then we can think of an agreement. So, hitting the road for 33+ rides is for me first choice, to which my main objectives are 1) I do not feel like it and 2) it would not be good for my ride length averages. That means, one competitor less and your record still stands ;). Congratulations! PS. Try to beat mine (which I've already included): longest "driving your driver" ride 781 km. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 23:28, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
 
:::: You dont get the point. Maybe it is just a complete different culture, of people who do their hitchhiking and make a record and people who hitchhike TO make a record. Most of the above achievements are in the first category for sure. And it is much more legit and charming than going out to hunt for a record. I will not go out to "beat" any record (also not yours). Allthough my actual route is going to be longer than the Autocolombus Expedition of Alexej and i want to get through 100.000 km and will be in the "Longest Expedition" Category next year. But this is not the purpose of what i do (but the cherry on top). This is an important difference. Cheers. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 04:30, 23 September 2015 (CEST)
:: You can do all that, if you are a fame-bitch and have the really deep need, to get on this list. There is a lot more in this article which could be stated, regarding to the things you looked at (f.e. about useless informations).

Honestly, nobody cares. Was that all nonsense you got to say after all this? Very disappointing. Please don´t show your face again, when i am working on an article. I am out of this now. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 04:30, 23 September 2015 (CEST)
"Further reference" makes sense to me in this article and can stay.
