Series Land Rover with a pipe holder on the dash. And yes, the owner had a handlebar mustache.

I’m assuming he sets the lit one up in the roof trough. The position in the pic is the best position to ensure no spray or dust from the dash vents gets in the bowl.

Fun fact I am constantly ridiculed for stripping torx bolts. I play the lottery if I break one lose without stripping the head.

I don’t think I’ve ever stripped a torx bolt. *knocks on wood*

What’s wrong with you?

The reason I raised such a ridiculous nitpick is actually not because of any inherent USE TORX impulse, but because literally everything else on a Land Rover is flathead so it should match. The number of phillips screws in the whole vehicle is probably less than ten - there might be one on one of the gauges, there’s one in some of the distributors, sometimes two on the fuel pickup... bottom line, visible screws are flathead, end of.

I read your original comment and thought, “I bet it’s because old Land Rovers only used flathead screws or something like that.”

The choice of interesting pipe makes up for it.

Yep. Pretty much every screw is slotted, and the vast majority of visible screws have a slotted button head (with spin marks in the top), are in fine thread, and are dull grey from a zinc powder tumble-coating process.

Very distinctive look.
