661 stuff is pretty good. Did you get it from Chain Reaction. They were banging out the 2005 for £75. I just got the 2004 which was £65.

Post by: jon016847 on February 02, 2006, 02:04 PM

Better safe than sorry,

noiw that is plain weird,I am at my parents house and have just unpacked a parcel containing my 661 SP-1 pressure suit that arrived from Chainreaction
I also looked in the loft for one of my old @fat man@ tops to wear over it and found an old Vans shirt that is Huuuuuge
 :) DINGO :)

Title: Re: SAFETY FIRST, I HAVE TAKEN YOUR ADVICE BEFORE THE BIG RACE
Post by: Sanmarcopizza on February 02, 2006, 04:39 PM

I don't anticipate finding anything other than a tent that will be big enough to fit over me with my pressure suit on. Guess I will have to look like a storm trooper.

Title: Re: SAFETY FIRST, I HAVE TAKEN YOUR ADVICE BEFORE THE BIG RACE
Post by: Dingobmxer on February 02, 2006, 04:48 PM

I now have both options San, I went into the loft and returned with a shirt from when I was 18 & 1/2 st and also one that used to be too small so I can wear one over or under but I quite llike the stormtrooper look it screams old and rubbish so no-one expects anything of you :LolLolLolLol:
 :) DINGO :)
