The Future For REP? | Why I Hate Cars! | How to Hire the Best Team

[@laurieharper1526]

Got to be water first if you're making tea in the mug with a bag. Otherwise, the milk cools the water, you never get truly boiling water on the bag and hence less flavour. Pour boiling water on the bag and don't add the milk until you've removed the bag from the mug. If you make it in a pot, you can put milk in the cup first. That's the law.

[@samrodian919]

Tea is an INFUSION Ricky, and needs time to infuse BEFORE the milk goes in. So water FIRST!!!

[@kayakthelakes9770]

Give this man a PHD

[@johngibson3837]

Fully agree mate that's what my gran taught me

[@dirtygrill]

Made me think of this classic kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5qXZ36kjadmeKMsi=5EzuHgc9sUFmca62

[@bearcatracing007]

Tea goes in the bin 😂

[@andyknight155]

Running a business and freaking out at 3 am about stuff that's usually beyond your control is part of it. I have never found a solution!

[@gpedley1]

The more important question is which tea bags as anything other than yorkshire tea is outrageous for the motortrade

[@davewilshere]

Why did Rick get his baby brother to do the last clip? Did someone secret Santa a razor for him?😂

[@TheHumblePaintSprayer333]

I loved cars from a young age and my dad worked for Renault then I started Spraying remote control cars that was what got me into cars

[@stephenwooliscroft4887]

That brought back memories. I had the honda 50 when i was 6. My brother had a ty80 and my mum a ty125... 😊

[@ianwright1047]

Milk first interferes with the diffusion process! My grandmother used to warm the cup with boiling water then pour it away before making her cup of tea!

[@stevenlee4437]

My favorite videos have been the engine builds. It’s made me tackle in to a 1.8T rebuild of a spare engine I had. What I learned the most apart from the theory, which was good, was also the cleanness and discipline in taking your time. Once you got it wrong building an engine while talking to camera, It was when you were putting valves in I think, and it taught me that everyone makes mistakes, and not to beat yourself up when you do and start down a negative path of “I mustn’t be able to do it”, but rather replace it with- everyone screws up, why did it happen and learn from it.

[@davidsaunders4450]

Favourite bits of year have been your reaction to the state of the Noble as you've stripped it down!!

[@nelg1973]

We are not the best @ anything, we just keep our heads down & work hard. What a great quote, tee shirt time..Remember you never get hated by anyone, unless they are threatened.... Priceless quotes. 👊

[@annag5458]

Thank you Ricky, Dav and the Rep team for keeping me entertained all 2023 and wishing you all a very happy 2024

[@glennarnold3970]

i feel your pain sometimes Ricky being a panel beater things have to be on point first time everytime and when it comes to my own projects a days job turns into a 2 week job when you get a little burnt out i have just done a turbo ford barra in a e90 taken 12 months by the time i got my head around all the electronics but when you finish a job its like bring on the next job 😁cheers from down under

[@franciscanavan241]

Absolutely love what your doing mate, can tell your genuine genius, what a vid of yours R8 inlet manifold, must of been fuel trim fault, rated you using hand tools, it the little things 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@matthewwhite1750]

Tea was traditionally made in a teapot, so what kind of spanner would put milk in a teapot!!?? 😂 Only brewing in boiling water brings the full flavour and i’m a British builder so i know! 😂 Loving the channel and looking forward to 2024 👍

[@micksmith7587]

The reason that milk was originally put in the cups first was the poor quality mugs that they had back in the day, would crack if the boiling water was put in first! So they put the milk in first to cool the water down so the cups would not cracked. Atb

[@steffydog]

Historically I believe it’s milk first, as tea was made in china cups, so it cooled the boiling water a fraction and stopped the fine china cracking, so it’s always milk first, and then a digestive or hob nob dunked 🤦🏻‍♂️👍🏆👏 Happy New Year to you all, and Kate! many thanks for all the great content 👍🏁

[@REPerformanceUK]

So it makes perfect sense 😂 also matters what cup you drink your brew from too 👌🏻. Thank you for watching and always commenting. Hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas and happy new year to you.

[@JKRmsrt]

Stay safe stay well team. Another year done onwards and upwards

[@martinstone3656]

Always water first, has to be Hassam tea bags as well if you like the taste of tea, adding milk second allows you to make it like engine oil which is how I like my tea, last point it has to be drunk out of a bone china cup or mug

[@72neillyboy]

Have a great 2024 guys 👍👍

[@jameswrigley3296]

Absolutely yes to the Toprak content!

[@mikesonic29]

Oh man a 44teeth collab is gonna be 🔥

[@ldtenenoff]

Man so Glad i found ur ChannelRicky and the Gang bra u rock man super HAPPY NEWYEAR Rickster so lookin forwward to vids next year, Keep ur Knees Together and dont Blow no Dogs

[@codski9144]

You need to try the Codski 7min brew. 1 teapot pre heated. 1 bag per person Fill pot as reqd leave for 3 mins then stir. At 7mins stir again and pour up. Milk sugar to taste. Thank me later. Replace tea bags with pg tips tea leafs its the future.

[@dangordon4338]

Appreciate all the time and effort you guys put into all the videos this year. Really helped me get through my days at work

[@garethv1554]

I used to race serpants (rc cars) in British nationals in early to mid nineties so would be good to see a few rc cars on here. Merry Christmas all!

[@Paul-mw8kg]

Best part of 2023 for me is watching rep performance videos super funny educational top top blokes talking about what they do and no bullshit happy new year lads all the best 👍

[@paulbarker2972]

Hi I'm fairly new to KZbin but loving the bike racing content as I used to race with ngrrc in the 90s and 2000s now just track days on my gen3 s1000rr. I also run my own garage in Cullompton but not on the same sort off stuff as you, just easy run off the mill stuff, so respect to you and keep it going 👍 🏍, cheers Paul.

[@shabbytiger5528]

I was at a presentation many years ago by the late Sam Twining who owned the tea factory in Andover of the same name. He stated that when making tea the water must be boiling and poured onto the tea bag. The boiling water was important to allow the full flavour to be realised. Sorry, Ricky.

[@geoffhallimond3711]

Water first as milk is thicker than water so if milk first it takes longer keep up the good work all the best for next year 🔥

[@suzywho1066]

Happy new year Rick, hope next year is as entertaining as this one has been.

[@archybrooks6938]

A great year Rick, l love the car stuff but as still a biker through an through love that most, looking forward to you and the team getting up to crazy stuff in 2024. Well done to all at REPerformance.

[@bingwalker5024]

A guid new year to you and your family and to all your staff have enjoyed every vlog this year 💪✊✊

[@davewilshere]

Instant coffee…don’t boil kettle you burn the beans, 90 degrees is about right. Proper tea in a pot, milk first 100%. Tea bag hot water, then milk before removing bag

[@williamholmes9129]

Happy new year to all the team 👍

[@davidthegolfer]

Happy New Year Ricky and team. Love the content and live to see you succeed.

[@johnrowell942]

Happy Xmas and New Year to you all. Take care

[@danielmarshall4587]

Tea leaves then boiling water....let it brew then milk. Anyhow have a GOOD New Year and thank you for the vids so far, here's to the future.

[@tommyme-rx2wh]

Happy new yr guys and girls. All the best. Rick, u may need me to show how to make a proper northern brew. ( so u can stand the spoon up in it)

[@SpeedyBenjam]

Happy new year chaps, see you on the other side 🔧🤙🚗🏍💨💨

[@paulstaton8267]

Just spent 4 hours watching your back catalogue, god you know your stuff, shame you don’t do maserati or z1000a1(1977) I’d be at your garage 24/7 hope you all have a great 24 , amazing 👍

[@jimmcculloch3786]

Love the engine & gbx strips and rebuilds, with your tech banter, tools or parts, music to me ears bro - Happy New Year to you Kate, ya kids, and the boys :)

[@iancharlton5530]

Happy new year guys very humble sounds like you have the same cold 🥶 as me. It’s never ending 😂😂.

[@stephenlebillon3066]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but Rick is wrong! Water first, problem with milk first is the fat blocks the tea bag perforations and tea won’t brew properly. Thanks for a great year of vids.

[@neilbathe7752]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all - I think the "mini series" idea is more about having dedicated episodes on one thing, rather than having elements of (for example) the Noble build mixed in with other (R8, workshop, bike) content...

[@neilbathe7752]

For me - I love the bike stuff, and the stuff (about bikes) with Sylvian was absolutely brilliant. Also love the Nobel work though, and the walk arounds and the R8 stuff and also really enjoy the dislike of the RS6!

[@briandarnell5966]

Love your technical knowledge and your honesty love bikes never owned a car but have a licence lol. Best wishes for the future and wishing all your team a very happy new year. From the Bulldog Superbike team.

[@malcolmhales8181]

Thanks you lot. Been a great year watching the channel grow. Happy new year to you all

[@CaistorMan10]

Great channel guys. Been watching from close to the start. I enjoy the build / techinical videos the most. One area I think would be of further interest is watching your process for diagnosing a fault...Initial report from the customer, your impressions on first being with the car and interogation of the EU logs. Keep it up in 2024...All the best.

[@belly450]

Thanks for answering my question lol. Enjoyed our banter on instagram about my bike. looking forward to more videos in 24

[@stewitr]

Always water first. Always. ALWAYS.

[@ericphilipson1604]

best vid for me was you and Josh had a chin wag excellent stuff hope you had a great Christmas Ricky

[@charliewatson7069]

happy new year Ricky and guys just keep it real and its nice to watch a video with no shouting a loud music to try and get attention ass for tea milk first

[@OldVWtech]

Hi Rick & team , thanks for keeping me sane , I have been off work for 10 weeks with a herniated disc , being a VW technician for over 30 years, I’m really missing the banter & the absolute Sh#t techs talk , what happened to the F B S Hats ?? Keep up the excellent content , more workshop banter please . wishing you all a happy new year

[@Drage9]

TEA... Water first!! Cmon! Coffee... Milk First as this doesn't burn the bean 🙂 then hot water in 👍

[@ktmnorfolk3215]

Happy new year you guys. Great content throughout 2023 I have to say it’s one of them channels I look forward to watching. Hard to choose a best bit as all been good. Good to see Karl back. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@nicksidell4797]

Definitely milk, always done that way. Happy New Year to you, your family and your buddies Ricky

[@andywalsh1185]

Winging it wins it everyday 😂😂😂, happy new year to you and the gang onwards and upwards

[@upthereddevils]

Milk in last for tea ,milk first in coffee ☕️ 😊 You need to build something bike engined,yeh it’s all been done but would be good for the channel Happy new year all 💥 🎉

[@peterarries7879]

Always enjoy all of the content from you guy's, looking forward to 2024, happy new year

[@Dadeets]

Nice one Ricky just made me waste a nice gusto down the sink coz really fancied a brew. No your wrong sorry mate but a proper brew up done the proper Norhern way is Bag x2 -water- let it stew -squeeze & remove bags - add milk to colour and taste. Simples - that’s the way to do it. Bloody milk first 🤢 BLASPHEMY 😂

[@robertjennings745]

Happy new year mate, appreciate the efforts for the vids. Question: Have you seen the gearbox Koenigsegg have manufactured with multiple clutches, plus their engine that mates to it? Their engineering looks incredible. Insight is what I love to see on your channel, whether that's technical (bikes especially, how the pro's view things and approach being the fastest possible) or superstar guests.

[@nickrider5220]

Love what you do and philosophy......plus you know a true legend, Toprak 👍

[@AndrewStorey-kf3jt]

Loved all the content keep it going guys. Happy New year to you all 👍

Not long found this channel. All I can say is “brilliant “. Explanation of engine works is awesome. Keep up the good work and hope you all have a good new year. Take care.👍

Oh can I just say to everyone SMASH the 👍 button. Let’s get Ricky’s likes to reflect his view count.

[@ast6537]

I run a garage in Yorkshire...and people say to me you need to get more staff..(there's 2 of us at the minute) But what they don't understand is that it's my reputation that I'm putting in other people's hands, and to be honest I ain't seen another mechanic/technician that works to my standards that I'd put my reputation in the hands of!! End of!!!

[@McCreadie88]

Hope you all had a good Xmas and are looking forward to the New Year. I know you have done some work on your bike(s) and Josh's bike - Do you have any plans to open up RE Performance to building track/race bikes for the public or plan to run a race team in the (near) future?

[@dazpreston9572]

Hope u had a good Xmas ..Happy new year 2 u and family...I thought the bike vid was spot on ...Bike racer at heart plus ex car tech...All good easy and also interesting contents..Keep them coming .And good look in the new season .Keep it pinned...

[@samrodian919]

Top notch video guys! I hope you had a good Christmas, ( even Karl lol ) and Happy New year to you all for Monday!!

[@newagetemplar6100]

Happy new year girls 😂 Tea is shite and the only time I ever liked it was when my grandad used to give it to me with plenty of sugar and a tipple of whisky when I was around 6 or ears old . Coffee is king especially Irish / Benedictine coffee’s as a nightcap . Still think you need to get that big scary fork truck on the dyno to see what It doesn’t pull. Looking forward to work on the noble plus some track day action if you do any . Happppppy Newwwwwwww Yeaaaaarrrrrrrrrr .🎉

[@rebelduck9077]

Here for the Nakatomi plaza tee 😂😂 love your channel!

[@rollcontroll]

I like all your vidoes, always a high point of the day. If you did a follow of the guys doing basic maintanance would attract more people too I think. Happy New Year

[@godfreysautomotiveservices]

I’m with Ricky on the tea front, always put my milk in first. Great videos , keep up the great work

[@DebSidera]

Merry Christmas and Happy New year 2024! question. Can you delete the balancing shaft from an Audi S6/S8 5.2 V10 and just use an idle gear instead? Love your shop, your guys, your content. Thanks! Debbie.

[@iankitson8972]

Merry Christmas guys

[@RogerChoateDFW]

great video..... can't wait for 2024

[@REPerformanceUK]

Happy new year!! Thank you for watching

[@ChrisPlow]

Hey look I don’t mean to detract from the awesome content, but here’s the deal…. Milk only goes in to the cup first when the tea is made in a teapot and already steeped. If your bag of choice is in your empty mug, you add the hot water then add the milk, steep the bag with a gentle squeeze until you obtain the right colour, remove bag and drink once slightly cooled, that’s it…. PS you mention you work on McLaren’s, do you offer or know of a warranty provider outside of manufacturer or TMS who I presume you are talking about in the video, thanks

[@johngibson3837]

😊thanks for your great videos lads

[@clashcityrocker1962]

Happy New year to one and all from West coast Canada. Question on Oil for you. I'm Running a Toyota 4 Runner 4L V6 and Toyota Recommend 0W-20. Im not a fan of 0W oil in general and as we rarely temps below minus 4 celsius in the winter and plus 35 C in the summer, so similar weather to Uk. What would you recommend as an alternative if any?

[@Audifans555]

Always water, brew for 3mins, milk to colour. Travesty if using milk 1st

[@cgturbo975]

Sorry Rikki you might know engines inside out but tea has gotta be water first hence why you cant make a propa cupa at the top of mount everest, simples mate, keep up the great content

[@wardiegrw]

Hi Ricky, Great videos, love the channel. here’s a question. You say that you don’t think, the business of tuning of ICE performance cars will slow down, but if it does, with high end manufacturers like Ferrari, Lamborghini etc… looking to have electric/hybrid cars coming into production in the next couple of years. Might you think of setting up a specialist team in a satellite workshop working on electric/hybrid supercars under the REPerformance brand, which is obviously highly respected? This would be complementing the existing business, keeping a foot in both camps. Personally I would like to think there will be a breakthrough in zero carbon fuels, similar to what F1 is about to try that will keep the internal combustion engine going well into the future, alongside a mix of other technologies. All the best Graham

[@nicksidell4797]

Yes the content is f..king brilliant.

[@REPerformanceUK]

Thank you!! Glad you’re enjoying it.

[@thedetailingdoctor5746]

Lol I had a Schumacher fusion 2 supposedly could hit 90mph I’m not sure as I could never find a space big enough or tyres strong enough to not tear off the rim after 2 mins (yes I glued them on and they still tore off) !

[@alexworz4135]

Have you thought about getting a damaged engine supercar. Fix it, road test it to your spa track day. Then raffle off at the end. That would make great content.

[@bgj2940]

12:30 this is exactly why I watch you. I have the same mentality and HATE the other 🤡's that do nothing but showoff and talk 💩 about other ppl. It's ridiculous that those 🤡's have a large subscriber base.

[@f35500]

Really got to get your own place Ricky Might have to think out the box or call in few favours but that’s the best route for security But you will probably be living at the shop which doesn’t suite everyone But it’s been great for me Ps roughly what does it cost to twin turbo a r8?

[@iandolan444]

If single tea bag, milk last, if teapot, milk first!!!!😂

[@123divad]

Ever thought about a R8 safari/offroad build

[@millett12]

Great stuff Tea with milk horrible Tea should with splash of cold water

[@jontyII]

For someone who is not an experienced mechanic but likes to learn any tips when stripping cars to help know how everything goes back together? Do you have a system for storing bits you remove or is it all just second nature because you have done it so often?

[@motortrack7903]

Ricky question time for you, as a fellow track day motorcycle rider I have a choice of two tracks here and I have found my times have plateaued at both, what hints tips could you give that helped you brake barriers with the time sheet, bike setup is good it’s more of a corner speed entry fear thing for me, i spend a lot of time at the track so time on bike isn’t the issue. I know bike is capable enough for it have mates that ride exactly same bike I just need to break the fear barrier but it’s easier said then done. Cheers Rob merry Christmas ya filthy animals 🍻

[@REPerformanceUK]

Without data of your lap it’s hard to say what your biggest cause would be but normally it’s your minimum apex speed is too low as you have scrubbed too much on way in and then slow to get back in the gas and not hard enough…..wait at the apex and get the turn finished then lash it on hard mate! (Obviously with finesse lol)!

[@boostboystv]

I raced RC cars also.. electric way forward now.. don’t entertain nitro.. my first RC car was nitro also.. HPI RS4 original mk1 .

[@CbrRob]

100% water first!!! If you have two sugars in a cuppa tea you can't make comment 😅

[@vogs72]
