After all the years of my life thus far, I never cease to get a kick out of hearing the word "Bonnet"! Americans gotta' love our "Brit Brethren" over there... uhh, you know... "Across the Pond"! 😛 Run along, now! Chip, Chip... Cheerio!!
Actually, since it shows the number of revolutions per minute, (counts) that the engine is currently making. You could even say that it is a rev counter.
@@ZaJaClt because it is a basic model. Rev counters were generally found in higher spec cars back when yours was made. It is a bit like air conditioning. Today, almost every new car has it, but 25 years ago, it was an expensive extra that had to be specifically ordered on relatively standard cars.
@@calibrazxr750 :) yeah you dont get much even though its a 1990 's GL 1.8... any advice on when to change gears? im used to at least a rev counter, just bought the beast and dont want to mess it up.
@ZaJaClt you should be able to retro fit a rev counter. Try a scrapyard. A dashboard from a Mk 2 Golf with a rev counter should be easy to find and swap. It is difficult to say when you shoukd change gear, it is all a matter of feel. For performance, ideally you need to know when the car makes peak power, but without a rev counter, you will have to guess when that is. But in a car that old, you should really be taking it a bit easier.
Ngl I like Mike, I met Mike last year and he was a very nice guy, I don't think he means to come across how some people see him at all. Honestly most people who talk crap about him have never actually met him before!
Man I miss these original WD episodes.They were really great together in these episodes.
Edd china is the greatest human being to walk this planet. I'd kill to meet him someday
Yeah he is God 🙄
You absolute freak.
I've met him a copel of times at car shows, great guy! He even signed his book for me! :)
Yeah, he is a great bloke and all. But greatest human being to walk this planet?
@@Car_and_classic_lover WTF does cople mean ?
Now that was a throwback, wayback! Edd had brown hair, and Mike was a skinny guy with hair too. Really miss the Golf GTI, copied but ever matched.
10 Edd China hours equals 2 of my weeks.
Still love the program, even the new episodes, Elvis ex fm 1 mecanic.

How young they both looked 🤣
I like Ed
Proper nice guy
I love all parts of this.
Does anyone know how I can get hold of the song playing in the background at the start of the video???
Mike is standing far too close to that guy with the red GTI lol
Where is Ed's salt-n-pepper hair?
Stay tuned.
Haha, good bye old times, greetings!!

"Binnacle"? "Rev counter"? What the...???!!!
Edd is a babby!
Golf did not start the hot hatchback!
Renault 5 did.
I like Mike Brewer. There I said it.
Blasphemy!
