Hi Guys,

Finally took the plunge and signed up after pouring through all the info on the site for a while.

I am based in the UK, but got my first pair of Oakley sunglasses in Australia in 2001- XX Fire Iridium (a completly indulgent purchase as I was a poor student) but, it was love at first sight, and in the end up, I wore them to death!

I followed these up a couple of years later when I had finished uni and started working with a pair of Ducati Valves and sort of trundled along for a bit with those two, until around a year and a half ago when I started buying and selling some pairs on ebay to build a little collection- keep the ones I love and trade up the ones I wasn't so fussed for, but fancied wearing for a week or two anyway.

I enjoy seeing new styles, trying them out for a bit, and then trading for something else- at the moment I have some black Holbrooks, Ducati Gascans, Ducati Plaintiffs, Riddles in black (despite not being crazy about them when I saw them online, I picked them up for only a few pounds, and they suit me more than any other pair I've had!), Gradient Crosshairs, and Square Wire 2.0 Silver Fire Iridiums.

So, looking forward to chatting to you all! :-)

Best,
Graeme
