Hey Mal there not my wifes are they :o , she dropped em near a petrol station while out taking the nipper for a walk! Its a funny thing because she was saying the Chanels were a year old and she needed a new pair, I mean the things women do to get a new pair of sunglasses, oh I just dropped my 160 quid sunglasses honey, can I buy them Gucci's now, so now she has her Gucci's Imnotworthy But she will pay as my Arnets I bought a couple of years ago are due for a change and their is a very expensive optician at the bottom of our road out here and I fancy paying him a visit B)

3 pairs of Oakleys. Two are my skiing shades and the third I found on top of a petrol pump where someone left them behind (yes, I did think about handing them in at the kiosk but that would have meant the pumpie would have gone home wearing them :D )

Just invested £45 in a cracking pair of wrap-around FCUK Rubbers :blink: (oo er missus ;) ) My old sunnies used to let the sun in at the side too much when trying to see out at roundabouts and t-junctions. These are perfect, and the rubber frames mean they should take a bit of rough treatment and squashing in the side pockets. Phill

I have a pair of 80's Ray Ban Wayfarer II in blue and gold tortoiseshell that are such a fashion crime that I love them. i daren't buy decent shades as I lose/break then too regularly. On the industrial strength Wayfarer IIs have withstood the tests of time, ( and been too ugly to be stolen ! :rolleyes: ) B)

No sun visor in the VXT, I therefore needed a really good pair of sunglasses for driving. Tried on Ray-Bans, decent but not very stylish. Diesel, stylish but not a very good lense. Then I tried on a pair of Oakleys, they are top dog for clarity of vision in all driving conditions. cheers

I've got a pair of chrome-ish Oakley something-or-others - I'm good with names........ which a very nice man gave me. They seem to take a lot of abuse of being dropped, sat on, lost underneath passenger seat, etc. but also have better lenses than any other shades I've ever used.
