Jamie's Holden HQ GTS Monaro Tribute | DRIVEN | Ep 31

Facing a time of great stress and anxiety in his life, Jamie Freeman sought assistance to regain clarity and improve his mental health. It was suggested he find a project that he could ‘lose himself’ in, and so he tracked down a 1972 HQ Holden Kingswood. The restoration didn’t see the HQ stay original for long, however, with Jamie fitting a highly specced 415cube V8 into the GTS tribute, which he now races on weekends or takes the family out on road trips.

I loved how you said your daughters liked to help fix the car with dad. My husband was a mechanic & our daughter took an interest in mechanics especially when she got her first car. He taught her to do basic maintenance & now in her thirties she is very competent. We also had four sons but they weren't so interested. My husband passed away but not before leaving his workshop toolbox to our daughter.

My old man had one of these, 1 st night after moving to Sydney it was stolen. This is a master piece of motoring history

Thanks GM for the idiocy of what you did to Holden like you did to Pontiac and Oldsmobile!

[williammaxwell]

Kudos you. Real men talk about mental health. Don't stop talking and don't stop doing the hard yards. Our kids need real men as examples to live up to
