Just seeing if anyone would be interested in Zippo lighters engraved with the zed logo? I remember somone else doing them a while ago... I have the use of a professional engraving setup which can engrave pretty much anything (can even engrave .jpgs) I have had my zippo engraved with my avatar pic on one side and a big Z on the other (as soon as i have my pc back up and running i will post a pic) Gauging interest at the mo but if enough people are interested and the mods dont mind as i am not treading on toes(dont think so anyway) i can go ahead with this. Anything metal can be engraved but i was going for the lighters first but could do keyrings or plaques …

Hi guys, it's been a while since I called in but i've been in Oz for the past 3 months backpacking! Anyway, before I left the UK my Zed (see below for spec) was hit by a slow moving lorry. The only damage is the paint on the front bumper and the panel between the headlights is crumpled. There is no other damage. It took 3 months for the insurance company to write it off and a (small) cheque is now in the post for me. They are allowing me to keep the zed. So my situation is this, i'm skint after travelling and I am doing low paid temp work with a 30min motorway commute do I a) keep the zed using my pay out money to repair it and keep it well serviced, b) chuck it …

I was recently unfortunate enough to pull out of a junction in front of a vauxhall omega :mad: It was totally my fault and although the omega was a write off the only thing that i damaged was bumper, drivers headlight and drivers intercooler as the car seemed only to be pushed down by the impact. It still runs etc but when it went to the bodyshop to be put on the dozer for straightening it couldnt be held down enough and have now been told it will prob have to be jigged :cry: I dont think there is any actual chassis damage but the nose cone is twisted and about 10 to 15mm out. My dilemma is do i fix it or do i buy new one and strip mine to sell parts :confused: …
