Default Carrier on Canadian Pickers TV show

I walked into the room just as they cut away from a shot of an all matt black carrier on the TV show. The owner was Phil something but I didn't catch where!

Did anyone else see it?

Cheers, Mike

It could be the same one that was discussed a few months ago. The two guys were near Balzac, Alberta and went out to a farmer's yard. It started and ran, with the pickers acting like typical idiots. The concensus was not worth the trouble, except maybe as a candidate for major superstructure rebuild.

I concur with Terry...
Why is it that all "reality" TV personalities are high paid morons. Heck, I know more guys around who could actually host a show and have some intelligence.
This topic came up in discussion the other day with a couple friends of mine.
Do people actually understand that reality TV is very far from reality?
When the concept first came out, I truly think it was close, gritty and real.
Network execs now have to add the wow factor by including scripted lines etc, lovely ladies and the like.. Its all BS.

Thanks Terry, that's the one! Guess I missed the colour as I only had a brief glimpse.

Reality TV, hmmph!

Cheers, Mike
