Using the VU Guage: add the numeric value below needle - highcharts

Question

In the Highcharts samples, I am seeing that the speedometer has a numeric indicator below the needle pivot (http://jsfiddle.net/radi8/kbvC3/497/). I am going to use the VU gauge but would like to add this numeric indicator to this gauge view. Playing with the fiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/radi8/Z2s77/1/), I cannot seem to get this element to display.
Any suggestions?
My VU from jsFiddle

You have to enable and position dataLabels (now you have dataLabels: {enabled: false}).
