:D

Lookin Good!! Adam you are just drooling to get in there aren't you!!!
Make sure you beat Lex To the Gascan's, for if you don't beat him he'll beat you. The Race is on!

I can't wait to get in there!! I was peering through the window for about 10 minutes this morning!

They're not open yet but they have everything on display, from what I could see there were a number of new razorblades, loads of watches, clothing, some gascans (but I couldn't see grapes, argh!)

Maybe they'll open earlier than thur? heres hoping!

Wooo! I'm going to have to get down there sooner than I thought!

Now then O - please can the UK have an official website to go with it?

ok so when this opening.......

Trip to london looming methinks.....

Where in London is it?

King Street, Covent Garden.

Lunchtime update; They've added some funky graphics to the windows. And there was a guy taking photos of the store, if that was anyone from here apologies for not saying hello, I had to get back to work a bit sharpish.

6.10pm update. The store looks ready to go inside but they were doing a little bit of work to the exterior above the main door when I walked past earlier. Otherwise, the store looks ready for me :)

shit... does anyone have any idea when the toronto store is opening????

I spoke to an oakley representative when i went to check it out on saturday, he told me they are opening wednesday morning. I wanted to be sure cos im going there first thing in the morning.

Dont expect too much from the grape gascan, i tried it on last week, looks like a darker version of the pocket berry frame, very girly and unpleasent i thought.

Nice one Nic, it'll be like the thump launch all over again, except I'll say hello this time(!)
Cheers for the info, also just out of curiosity where abouts did you try on the grape gascan? (and have you mentioned this to your bro?!)

Hopefully I'll make it down to the captial late this month. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait! Maybe a UK O Review member meet-up is in order? My (very provisional) date for going is 29th June.

Sounds good, was thinking of date around then because Ford is going to be in London for a week from the 26th. I'm here all the time (except for possibly... hang on... erm, I need to go and check the calendar...)

edit: I might be away on the 30th, 1st and 2nd. TBC

ooh this wednesday??! Im off work too :-)

Excellent - if Ford's around we can get the first (I think) international O Review member photo as well as a UK one!

Any idea of the opening hours adam? i'll be in london thursday, so might get the tube in the evening, working in harringey, or haringay, not sure of the spelling, near tottenham i think, dunno, so i guess i'm not working on the o store afterall, it's a Next shop, boring in comparison....

Congrats to guys in U.K.! Post more pictures please!

I'm not sure about opening hours but most shops around covent garden/soho are open 10-7, some do 10-6.30 and some are 9.30-6.30. As soon as I find anything out I'll let you know

What the heck is in that warm english beer? The Grape Gascans Rock!!!

K

from what ive seen in the pics i think they look amazing, so i dunno what nic is going on about, he saw them in a shop in brighton called moist,
at this stage im not up for a trip to brighton to get them, i shall have to wait till wednesday or thursday whichever it is.

Yes, a meetup at the O store and preferrably a pub near the O store is well in order.

I am officially due to arrive at Heathrow at 6.10pm on Monday 27th June and am in London til 2 July (then a 3-4 week tour of Europe) then back to London to try my hand at a pommy life (for give or take a year).

Enough of my autobiography - back to Oakley!

How about trying to set a meet up date of say the 28th of June for everybody?

Thats sounds good to me, I'm free on the 28th, except for work of course but I'll take a half day if necessary.

Gee, you don't look so good Adam. I think you might be coming down with something on the 28th.
