Default Canadian Restorers

I just watched the pilot of Canadian Restorers a show about all sorts of high end vehicles getting restored out in Ontario and they showed a couple of carriers that Mike Timoshyk purchased so I was wondering if anyone else seen it. It was on the History channel and looks like it might be a good series to watch

Only in Canada would they air a pilot episode at 2300hrs on a Tuesday night with very little advertising.

Default I saw the title in the listings, but too late

I saw the title and thought it would be a ripoff of American Restorers. Don't need to lose sleep over it - literally.

Hi Mike

In the show you didn't get the tracks that you thought were included in the deal. How did all that work out? Did we witness internet fraud?

Thanks

Dan

Nearly spilled my beer tonight while watching "restoration garage" here on Nat Geo when two carriers were shown in someones backyard!.......And our own Mike Timoshyk explaining about these old army vehicles!

So, finally after more than two years the program has reached Dutch TV.

Alex

p.s. I admired the work these guys did recreating the Magnesium Bugatti body.

That is one of the carriers from the show? Brilliant job; what a difference with how they were found.
