I lost a car to thieves who torched it when they were done. I found the burnt out shell the next morning and the smell of a burnt out car is something I'll never forget. Things will get better though and you'll rebuild.
Same and it fucking blows. My trusty 12 hyundai accent "blue" (super creative name i know) we think it was for the hyundai/kia challenge as they were all 3 juveniles. I had him all his life just put in 3k for all his major fixes/maintenance and only about a month later he got burned up. I have since gotten a new car but i still miss him had a lot of life left (90k miles) and i LOVED how he drove.
I had a friend lose their house to a fire. I was there when it started (parents boyfriend was heating oil for frying and forgot about it, I was actually the first person to smell it) and helped them cleaning out the remains of the house over the next weeks. This was 25 years ago. I'll never forget that smell. To this day even a slight whiff of that smell makes me sick to my stomach. Never smelled a burnt out car, but I imagine that it is similar.
The smell of fire like that is something you never forget, a few years ago, my neighbor set my house on fire while I was asleep inside it, I woke up to flames, that is something that sticks with you
@@cephalonaural6854 worked on an old burned out building where guy was covering up a crime. the smell still hits my nostrils every year or so and i shiver.
This got recommended to me so i didn't know anything about this channel beforehand. Seeing all the different rooms and the quality of everything choked me up a little
I can think of a family that can pump out the best s chassis comp cars in the world and between yourself and the boy's theirs plenty of machinery for the next steps. I kinda feel like Ireland is the best place to recover from a situation like this. Irishman fight back EVERY FUCKING TIME 🤙
We don’t know you guys personally, but we are so sorry! Thankfully, no one was injured, and I’m sure you guys will come back swinging harder than ever! Holler if you ever need anything
The people who say "it's, you've got insurance" have never built a legacy. This is my first time seeing this channel and this brought tears to my eyes. :(
I've never seen you guys before but came across this footage. I'm at a loss for words. This is an extreme heartbreak & punch right to the soul. You all seem like a great bunch of guys and friends too, and it seems like you'll all fight to come out on top stronger than ever! You had some absolutely beautiful cars you built together & memories you've shared will never be taken away. Keep all of those wonderful memories, laughs, sweat & tears and use them as the fuel to forge ahead to make the next go even better and badder 💙🏎
Absolutely gutted for you guys, words can't even begin to describe how it must feel or what lays ahead. Thankfully you guys have an amazing team - and an army of supporters around the world ready to help however we can. We love you guys
Between all the friends they have made along the way I know they can bounce back from this. Still absolutely gutting though, having my own garage I know it's your worst nightmare to have this happen
Words can't explain the feelings I have rn, nor can they explain yours going thru this. In the end of the day, you always gotta keep moving forward and keep pushing thru the challenges life throws at you, there's a reason for everything even in the most fucked situations. I believe we can rebuild bigger and better with a whole different look on the whole scheme. Keep it positive no matter what, all our prayers will slowly provide enough faith to get back on it. Keep your heads up fam
To the Drift Games family, we all LOVE YOU. So extremely sorry this happened to you guys. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. ❤❤
My house burned down in 2010, so I know exactly what you are feeling. It's going to be a long road to recovery, but I wish you the smoothest and quickest journey possible.
The great thing is that everyone in the Drift Games team is safe and sound. The lesson from this incident is the importance of having multiple backups and that includes offsite backups.
Thankfully they don't have to flee hundreds of miles with the clothes on their back because some evil country drone strikes their house. But that kind of thing never happens..
Me too don't know anything about these guys, their life, or content however, I find myself way too often putting myself in others position to try to understand but this one leaves u speechless and makes anyone want to help in anyway. The fact that I got this as a first video opening youtube I take it as a sign that no matter what anyone's day looks like there's always someone else going thru something worse. These guys will learn from this and come back even stronger with positive vibes
What's the cause of fire? Short Circuited? Flammable Objects in a vent? Power Box shortages? I know all of your pain of your hardest work and your dream projects. But you gotta start over again. Be careful and stay safe when you're doing your dream project works.

@@marksapollo doesn't even need to be cloud-based. A safe in the basement containing tapes or hard drives is still quite common for sensitive data. Cloud excels when you have multiple locations or want mobile teams using a common infrastructure.
@@MrHaggyy I was just thinking of stuff like One Drive or Drop Box, it’s better than nothing at all. But absolutely a safe too for your tapes is good. A lot of people will pay a couple of quid for cloud storage from their phones or home computers for photos and stuff, but they forget about the business stuff from their workplace or office.
This is the first video I've seen from y'all so I don't know the full impact that the fire had, but it's still very sad to see. Given the abundance of life and happiness in the building before, it's clear as day to see that you all had a lot of effort and passion that burnt that night. I know that whenever you see anything you put a lot of work into, that you are very passionate about, and that you take pride in, go up in flames (literally or figuratively), it is very demoralizing for everyone involved, and not many people talk about that. So I just want to say this: Don't give up. Don't let this stop you from achieving great things. This may be a pretty big setback but the journey keeps going. I get the sense that y'all have built a great community between yourselves, so be sure to rely on each other if you start to feel stressed or overwhelmed. Even just seeing the other comments tells me that there are many people that are willing to stick it out with you guys and hope to see you bounce back from this, me included. I hope you can get back into the swing of things soon!
Never seen your channel; I was drawn in by the fire. I'm so sorry for everything yall have gone through, and wish yall the best. On another note, that fire crew you had did everything right. They saved all they could for yall, and im hopeful that yall can recover/bounce back!
Man I was unsubscribed for some reason. This is truly devastating for drift games. Man such a great group of guys and to have this happen is just awful. You’re all in my thoughts in prayers boys.
It feels like something apart of us is gone well miss those memories with those sexy cars and the memories with da bois in the garage it hurts me to see something as beautiful as that get on fire we the community will help to get the cars back but the will not be the originals only remakes and make a lot more memories
I only just now discovered this as it came up in my feed, absolutely heart breaking to see, especially when we get to see at the end just how.. amazing it looked, a testament to how much hard work and effort each and every one of you put in. I believe that.. no one deserves this. But after watching the follow up videos I truly believe you will come back, even better than before! I may be just one small man on the internet from a totally different niche, but you have found yourselves yet another supporter!
Same here. I don't know why youtube decided to share this horrific moment for these guys as my first encounter with them but wishing all the best for them all to be able to rebuild.
The entire car community is behind you on the rebuild. You don’t want donations but what we can offer is a helping hand, manual labour by joining you on the rebuild. We are happy to help in anyway needed.
People definitely donate though if though if you can and want to, insurance pay pay them a fraction of the lost value but it can take months or years to see anything. I don't have much but I bought a shirt, there's a tip section in there to add more if you want.
Things the fire didn't take from you: Your brand, your credibility, your experience and know-how, your passion, your ambition, your ability to rebuild, your community, and, most important of all, your team, friends, and the people who'll come together to get you back on your feet.
Got this video recommended today. Never heard about your channel. Had a look at your type of content and immediately understood what this fire destroyed. Not just material value, but also memories of the past, dreams, hopes and plans for the future. I am so sorry that this happened to you guys and gals! Love and all the best wishes from Germany!
I don't know you guys personally, but I watch every video and see that passion ya'll have in everything you do and this is a gut punch in the worst way. You have an incredible team of supporters and fans so please, lean on us for whatever you need. I know it feels like you're doing something wrong by asking for help, but we're here to help you rebuild and reshape this journey with you guys; whatever it looks like. So sorry again and please know that every single comment in this video is supporting ya'll; all across the globe.
when one of the guys said it didn't rain the one day they needed it to, that actually hit me. a house in my neighborhood burnt down after getting struck by lightning probably a month ago. it was raining but the rain didn't stop it. they lost everything. we were originally going to move into that house 7 years ago too. we know them personally and they are such great people. i'm so glad everyone is okay. i'm so sorry for the hundreds of thousands of dollars that was lost in those beautiful cars.
Well, as a grown man of 53 years of age, who has followed your journey for the past 2 years or more, I don’t mind admitting that I am watching this in tears. Is it because of the beautiful building being destroyed, no. Is it because the most incredible collection of cars in Ireland has been destroyed, no. Is it because all your merch, cameras, computers, tools, lighting equipment and everything in that building is destroyed?, no. It is simply because I see the destruction in you guys eyes and in your voices. I am totally devastated for you but this is maybe a lesson for us all that all these things are superficial, they can and will be rebuilt bigger and better. What can’t be rebuilt is someone’s life, God forbid, if someone had have lost their life and, if that’s not the positive in this situation and the catalyst to rebuild I don’t know what is. I am so looking forward to the next chapter in this ever changing book and I genuinely wish you all health and my very best wishes ❤️
I’ve had this video pop up on my recommended, never heard of these guys but I’m absolutely gutted for them. What a Horrendous loss for not only them but the car community as a whole. I can’t do much personally except thumbs up the video and subscribe 🥺❤️
I think its safe to say you'll come out of this stronger than ever. I've read a lot of people found your channel/business through this tragedy, I'm one of those people too. I'll definitely be around to watch you guys rebuild and I'll be there to support you in any way I can.
Sadly, i found your channel through this video, as many did i imagine. But as others already said before me: lets rebuild together, with new support on your backs and a lot more people!
I can not fathom something so devastating like that happening, As a UA-camr, I rarely watch videos, but I watched the opening of this garage and thought how well it was put together and the pride in your eyes to reveal your creation to the world. Please continue to fight and come back stronger. Lets GO!!
So sorry for your massive loss. Being a car family I sit and look at our shed and think how shattering it would be if this happened, I feel for you guys 😢
@@garthknight1234567to be honest i’m not going to buy something i won’t use but I really hope they get through this asap and come back stronger than ever, won’t support them economically (i hope i could) but at least they have our love and trust
@@TRICKYBYRD Jesus Christ dude, what’s wrong with you? Everything they’ve built just burnt down and you are being an ass and saying they faked it. Read the room.
Never seen a video from you guys but this video showed up on my recommended feed and I like cars so checked it out. That horrible to see what happen to you guys but good to know everyone is safe. You guys did have an awesome place but you know what, you'll come back stronger and better for sure I believe! 💞
im german, im new to the car community cause i just got my license recently, i didnt even know you guys but i saw a german youtuber talking about what happened to you guys. from now on ill be an active viewer and supporter, i want you guys to build the greatest garage this world has seen, with new power and support. you got that💪🏻
Lost my house to a fire when I was 19, every memory and personal possessions gone...it will get better, though it will always be in your heart but it will get better.
@walkaz they're actually not millionaires or even close to it. And if you watched the videos, you'd see them explain how most of this is uninsurable, etc.
YT recommended me this just now and I had seen videos showing the aftermath of an individual/group whom I never watched before, but this is just sad to watch. All that precious work gone to ashes. I hope you can recover from this.
I understand the pain when u worked majority of your life to build an achieve something an its gone in a flash so sad .yes it can be replaced but the bond with what u started will never be the same . Gtr Skyline is my favorite car also .this is just so heart breaking 💔 😢
I just discovered your channel literally yesterday and saw this video while browsing more content to watch. This is so devastating, I feel for all you guys, and so sad that you lost so much and also the memories stored on the laptops the lot. I wish you all the best and good luck and hopefully get back on track and continue and not let this put you off to rise up and continue the amazing work. Glad to hear no one got hurt and take the time you need to recuperate and get back at it.
My son and I cried together watching this. He’s only 15 and JDM is his life. He was so happy to see the HQ back in December. He spent ages taking pics, buying merchandise and meeting the lads. Every single one of them were so nice to him. Ours hearts are utterly broken for you all. Please know that DG has brought so much joy to our lives and the lives of countless others. The community will be there for you. ❤
Same here mate me and my son were the same he is 11yr he was even going to sell his hot wheels cars and donate the money he would get for them he has autism and is car mad loves dave josh adam the hole team so I got us tshirts and left a tip as well
So sad to see someone’s business and years of building up a special garage workshop just to be ruined by fire. So heartbreaking to view and see the destruction.. hopefully something can be done to help start this guys business again, and all his employees too. 😢😢
I just found you guys when you first opened this shop and I thought man, you guys made a masterpiece out of it. This is truly heartbreaking to see. I cant fathom the worth in not just price but memories the stuff was to you all and all I can say is I offer my condolences and thankfully no one was hurt. I will say however you did an extraordinary job on this building I cannot wait to see what yall can achieve with the weight of the entire car community behind you. Keep your heads high and be proud of what you guys accomplished. Wishing you all the best.
Wow, so sorry guys. I've been watching from the start and all these videos got me part into cars. This is wild, but we can rebuild together its sad to see all the hard work put to waste because of a fire... We love you guys!
Oh no! This is absolutely terrible. My thoughts go out with you all. I am praying that you all can recover from this in the quickest and easiest way possible.
Regarding the footage, See if you can find any hard drive you had, and send them to a forensic data recovery place, it is amazing what they can pull off, even if the drives have been in a fire. It might not get it all, or even anything, but it's seriously worth a shot if you don't have offsite backup in any way. Good luck on your journey to rebuild, so sad this happened to you guys and wish you all the luck going forward.
I think I speak for entire car community and not just in Ireland but I am so so sorry this happened to you. Seeing Adam in tears and hearing Dave choke up about the Spirit Rei. I'd happily give my time to help you guys in whatever way I can. I know you said about Pride but you can still have pride and get help. Please let me know
I just subscribed recently and was just starting to see your guys videos. I was watching your guys trip awesome video to Japan. I am absolutely heartbroken and devastated to see your hard work and dreams go to waste. I am truly sorry for you guys. Your Dreams will be revived and they will comeback better than ever. This is just the beginning...
For some reason UA-cam's algorithm recommended this video and the first thing I landed on after scrolling to the middle of the video to the guy saying "Please refund all the money if there is a gofundme. We don't want anything for free. We will put a pre-sale and you can byy it from there". This is the first time I have seen someone on the internet saying this and I really hope you guys rebound stronger than ever!
I can’t remember the last time I left a comment on any UA-cam video. But if there’s a time to do it, it was now. Having watched you guys build this brand and everything around it come to this, is utterly sickening. A point in your life where you wish going back in time was possible and that you could wake up from the nightmare. You’ve got the support behind you to build it up better than before and move forward. Continue to tell yourself you won’t give up and this will be the start of a new chapter. Long live DRIFTGAMES!!!
This is heart-wrenching, so sorry for your loss, absolutely devastated to see this. Can't imagine how you all must feel, we as supporters all have your back. You'll rebuild even stronger and better.
This is me first video ive seen on the channel. I feel that suffering that you guys had from loss. This month has been cruel honestly. I wish better for you guys though. :0(.
You could here it in his voice when he looked at the ps13 spirtray car he loved that car even before he bought it and the man is broken and for dicks on the Internet saying insurance job and all that shite some jealous people in this world
Words can’t describe how the entire car community is feeling right now 💔 helped bring so many people together and pushed the scene to be bigger and better. All the love to you guys
that's a big loss man. lots of money loss too. and sentimental cherished memories that are in that building are also lost. sorry you guys are experiencing this. im poor so i cant financially help.... but wishing you all my support from canada.
I am so so sorry guys. This is absolutely heartbreaking! Please stay strong and together as a team! You WILL get over this. Keep your heads up, and have faith the community around you won't ever let you down!
Im so sad to see all these hardworked burn down in hours 😢more power to you guys hope you guys will recover quickly. That lambo bro its not even look like a care
Oh jeez, never seen you guys before, but this video came across my feed. I am so sorry you, and your neighbors, went through this. A fire in a garage is probably one of the worst case scenarios, and even just the rundown of the inventory destroyed in this fire in your garage, let alone the cars in your neighbors' garage is heartbreaking to imagine. Hearing an RX-7 and a Corvette are among the vehicle casualties hit me pretty hard in the feels - they're dream cars for me, and I can't begin to imagine how horrendous it would be to lose either of those if I owned and worked on them. I hope you find a way onward and upward, you and your neighbors.
First time on this channel, and I'm in already in tears. Theres nothing that could replace my builds, MY BUILDS, you can come with a brand new one and it wont be the same. I'm praying for you guys.
Hardest video I’ve watched on UA-cam. As difficult as it is to watch it I can’t imagine how it was being stood there. As many have already said we are all behind you guys to rebuild in whatever form that may be.
Absolutely heartbreaking 😢. To see the damage inside and cant deny the B-roll at the end brought a tear to the eye. I think your first new build should be called the “Phoenix” - rising from the ashes. Heart goes out to the other businesses also.
I've sat down ready to watch this video with a plate of food in front of me... literally haven't even touched it. Just staring at the screen with my jaw on the floor. I'm so sorry lads. This is so heartbreaking, I feel for each and every one of you. I'm sure you will find your way out the other end of this, you all have the support of millions of us behind you.
Just speechless... utterly devastated for you guys... what more can i even say :/ I can't even imagine it myself, not that i would ever want to either. My hopes are behind you in the no doubt slow and painful recovery, all the best moving forward, in whichever direction the road takes
That was painfull to watch at the end, when you showed just how good that place was. You built one of the best spaces in the world without a doubt, you can always be proud of that. I'm actually a bit lost for words, it's beyond fucking awful what has happened and I hope you can all come out the otherside OK.
Just stumbled across this video this morning, and I haven’t watched one of this channels videos before. But I wish you guys the best of luck with whatever comes next.
OMG! I am so sorry this has happened to you guys! To lose so much and stay so positive, I don't know if I could do that. The fact no one was injured was a blessing! This is the first time your stream has appeared in my feed but rest assured, now I'm subscribed and looking forward to watching your rebirth as it unfolds. I sincerely hope the journey is not too arduous and you all stay strong as you navigate this mountain. Love, prayers and blessings to all of you. ❤
i cant even begin to imagine the feelings that this unfortunate situation brings about. i feel heartbroken and they arent even my cars 😅 but im standing by yall ten toes down, praying everything works itself out and yall get back on your feet - with cars and all.
I just found this channel with the Lambo build and was so bummed that the hoodie was limited to 200 pieces! Please print a ton and allow us to support! The car community is gutted, Bro!
to think the Spirit Rei S13 is gone has me in tears, such a legendary car. Its absolutely gutting. The whole of the Irish car scene and beyond are rooting for you
so heartbreaking to watch - thinking of you all ❤
Wholesome youtube
Huge w for youtube's respect to the car community and for Drift Games' loss

Them words of strength 🦾🖤

Depends if the insurance pays or not
This has to be the worst feeling. I'm so sorry guys, you didn't deserve this. You'll come back stronger than ever, never give up!
Wise words from a wise man. Mr. Optimism has spoken. ❤
Never give up indeed

Man I was unsubscribed for some reason. This is truly devastating for drift games. Man such a great group of guys and to have this happen is just awful. You’re all in my thoughts in prayers boys.
I just saw this on my recommended i never knew you guys but i hope you get through this
This breaks my heart to watch. If you guys can build it once, you can do it twice and even quicker with the love and support from the community ♥️
Yeah, nothings is gone or needing to be replaced. The warehouse and the burnt out cars are all still there, waiting to be brought back.
@@thomasjackson9480 did you not watch the video
I agree fully with u
I wish I was rich I would help out

It feels like something apart of us is gone well miss those memories with those sexy cars and the memories with da bois in the garage it hurts me to see something as beautiful as that get on fire we the community will help to get the cars back but the will not be the originals only remakes and make a lot more memories
I only just now discovered this as it came up in my feed, absolutely heart breaking to see, especially when we get to see at the end just how.. amazing it looked, a testament to how much hard work and effort each and every one of you put in. I believe that.. no one deserves this. But after watching the follow up videos I truly believe you will come back, even better than before! I may be just one small man on the internet from a totally different niche, but you have found yourselves yet another supporter!
This video was, sadly, my introduction to you guys... I only hope to witness your grand rebirth amongst the ashes. Drift Fenix!
Same here.
same here

Same here. I don't know why youtube decided to share this horrific moment for these guys as my first encounter with them but wishing all the best for them all to be able to rebuild.
Same...
This is devastating. Here for ye lads, whatever we can do to help ❤
Devastating dude 😢
sure i remember you from ice poseidons chat years ago
Stfu scammer this worth millions u channel worth few 100k won't be able to donate a penny
Ummmm you have a shed bro 🤙 a fucking perfect place for em to hang out if you boys have the room
@@DirtySlapper99its very crowded so hopefully that industrial estate has another unit empty for drift games to move into
Don't even know you guys, saw it on my FYP. Praying ya'll can recover, at least you still have each other.
I feel so bad for you guys..l literally crying almost…. I hope you guys are okay…
The entire car community is behind you on the rebuild. You don’t want donations but what we can offer is a helping hand, manual labour by joining you on the rebuild. We are happy to help in anyway needed.
❤❤❤❤
People definitely donate though if though if you can and want to, insurance pay pay them a fraction of the lost value but it can take months or years to see anything. I don't have much but I bought a shirt, there's a tip section in there to add more if you want.
Things the fire didn't take from you: Your brand, your credibility, your experience and know-how, your passion, your ambition, your ability to rebuild, your community, and, most important of all, your team, friends, and the people who'll come together to get you back on your feet.
Shout loud about it, DRIFT GAMES WILL NOT DIE
Why couldn't they have just gotten the cars out of the building, if they knew it may catch next to burning building?
@@fast97z24because the only way to get each and every car out would be with a single car lift and that would be risky to do

Well said.
Sorry for your terrible loss. It is extremely odd that YT is pushing this to so many who have no clue who these people are. Something is afoot.
Got this video recommended today. Never heard about your channel. Had a look at your type of content and immediately understood what this fire destroyed. Not just material value, but also memories of the past, dreams, hopes and plans for the future. I am so sorry that this happened to you guys and gals! Love and all the best wishes from Germany!
I don't know you guys personally, but I watch every video and see that passion ya'll have in everything you do and this is a gut punch in the worst way. You have an incredible team of supporters and fans so please, lean on us for whatever you need. I know it feels like you're doing something wrong by asking for help, but we're here to help you rebuild and reshape this journey with you guys; whatever it looks like.
So sorry again and please know that every single comment in this video is supporting ya'll; all across the globe.
Same here Alex, same here
I have no words. I'm so sorry 😢
Sad story, so sorry Guys! Thanks for showing what it was before, it looked amazing! First time visitor here!
when one of the guys said it didn't rain the one day they needed it to, that actually hit me. a house in my neighborhood burnt down after getting struck by lightning probably a month ago. it was raining but the rain didn't stop it. they lost everything. we were originally going to move into that house 7 years ago too. we know them personally and they are such great people. i'm so glad everyone is okay. i'm so sorry for the hundreds of thousands of dollars that was lost in those beautiful cars.
Gut wrenching, so sorry this has happened to you guys. There's rebuilding to be done, but you will be back better and stronger than ever.
👏
Obviously there's rebuilding to do Genius150! We got a rocket scientist here......
this clown with the wisdom....GTFO
This guy... 😒🙄
why so many people hating on you shmee is there something im missing here???
Well, as a grown man of 53 years of age, who has followed your journey for the past 2 years or more, I don’t mind admitting that I am watching this in tears. Is it because of the beautiful building being destroyed, no. Is it because the most incredible collection of cars in Ireland has been destroyed, no. Is it because all your merch, cameras, computers, tools, lighting equipment and everything in that building is destroyed?, no.
It is simply because I see the destruction in you guys eyes and in your voices.
I am totally devastated for you but this is maybe a lesson for us all that all these things are superficial, they can and will be rebuilt bigger and better. What can’t be rebuilt is someone’s life, God forbid, if someone had have lost their life and, if that’s not the positive in this situation and the catalyst to rebuild I don’t know what is.
I am so looking forward to the next chapter in this ever changing book and I genuinely wish you all health and my very best wishes ❤️
Yeah. It was a hard video to watch no doubt . Really shows the passion the lads have for everything too. Pretty tough..
well said Stevierea exactly what I wanted to share your not alone WE are not alone
I’ve had this video pop up on my recommended, never heard of these guys but I’m absolutely gutted for them. What a Horrendous loss for not only them but the car community as a whole. I can’t do much personally except thumbs up the video and subscribe 🥺❤️
No words can describe how absolutely heartbreaking this is
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I think its safe to say you'll come out of this stronger than ever. I've read a lot of people found your channel/business through this tragedy, I'm one of those people too. I'll definitely be around to watch you guys rebuild and I'll be there to support you in any way I can.
Sadly, i found your channel through this video, as many did i imagine. But as others already said before me: lets rebuild together, with new support on your backs and a lot more people!
i also just stumbled on this video, literally had a tear in my eye seeing the cars burned out, i'm heartbroken for them
applies to me as well, gutted to see this happen; hopefully they can rebuild bigger and better.
I can not fathom something so devastating like that happening, As a UA-camr, I rarely watch videos, but I watched the opening of this garage and thought how well it was put together and the pride in your eyes to reveal your creation to the world. Please continue to fight and come back stronger. Lets GO!!
If you're a YT, why don't you watch videos?
@@EmArghWhy don't you worry about yourself?
So sorry for your massive loss. Being a car family I sit and look at our shed and think how shattering it would be if this happened, I feel for you guys 😢
so sorry, hope your all ok and our hearts go out to you from the UK ❤❤❤
I’m never one for buying merch/donating but I’m here for the rebuild!
Ya, I'm not a merch guy either.
But if there was ever an excuse to buy merch it's definitely now !
Same. Ill buy something
100% just bought the new merch, hope everyone else does too
Samr bro just picked up the rebuild shirt
@@garthknight1234567to be honest i’m not going to buy something i won’t use but I really hope they get through this asap and come back stronger than ever, won’t support them economically (i hope i could) but at least they have our love and trust
I’m speechless….
Gutted about this.
The community has your back guys.
Just let us know what we need to do!!!!
No your not. You can donate 10k, don't make yourself out a liar now pay up..
@@TRICKYBYRD Jesus Christ dude, what’s wrong with you? Everything they’ve built just burnt down and you are being an ass and saying they faked it. Read the room.
@TRICKYBYRD don't be that guy stop being an ass and clearly you didn't watch the video people like you makes me sick wanting attention
@@TRICKYBYRDdamn fokr chill 😹
@@TRICKYBYRDhave you even watched the video? They said that they don’t want us to donate money or start a gofundme.
Never seen a video from you guys but this video showed up on my recommended feed and I like cars so checked it out. That horrible to see what happen to you guys but good to know everyone is safe. You guys did have an awesome place but you know what, you'll come back stronger and better for sure I believe! 💞
im german, im new to the car community cause i just got my license recently, i didnt even know you guys but i saw a german youtuber talking about what happened to you guys. from now on ill be an active viewer and supporter, i want you guys to build the greatest garage this world has seen, with new power and support. you got that💪🏻
Any car enthusiast can feel the extreme pain in this loss. I'm so sorry guys.💔
I don't even know what this channel is, who you people are or anything but using what I do know. Damn. I wish you luck recovering.
Lost my house to a fire when I was 19, every memory and personal possessions gone...it will get better, though it will always be in your heart but it will get better.
Found you guys from your "We built a street in a warehouse" I'm absolutely gutted to see this has happened to you guys. So sorry to you and the team.
Joined the membership to help in some way! Heart aches for you all.
There millionaires bro they gonna be just fine😂
@walkaz they're actually not millionaires or even close to it. And if you watched the videos, you'd see them explain how most of this is uninsurable, etc.
YT recommended me this just now and I had seen videos showing the aftermath of an individual/group whom I never watched before, but this is just sad to watch. All that precious work gone to ashes. I hope you can recover from this.
so many rare cars was with their good owners everything was looking so great and now nothing... life is so shocking sometimes
This is sadly my introduction to you guy's channel. Very devastating to see. Hope y'all recover soon
I’m so sorry guys. But we are here for you
I understand the pain when u worked majority of your life to build an achieve something an its gone in a flash so sad .yes it can be replaced but the bond with what u started will never be the same . Gtr Skyline is my favorite car also .this is just so heart breaking 💔 😢
I just discovered your channel literally yesterday and saw this video while browsing more content to watch. This is so devastating, I feel for all you guys, and so sad that you lost so much and also the memories stored on the laptops the lot. I wish you all the best and good luck and hopefully get back on track and continue and not let this put you off to rise up and continue the amazing work. Glad to hear no one got hurt and take the time you need to recuperate and get back at it.
My son and I cried together watching this. He’s only 15 and JDM is his life. He was so happy to see the HQ back in December. He spent ages taking pics, buying merchandise and meeting the lads. Every single one of them were so nice to him. Ours hearts are utterly broken for you all. Please know that DG has brought so much joy to our lives and the lives of countless others. The community will be there for you. ❤

I won’t lie. I teared up watching this.. devastated for you guys. The Irish community and drift fans world wide are shocked.
Sending love yall
How are you gonna cry bruh no one died relax Lmao they don't even know you jesus
How pathetic
@@Keatoil I actually almost cried when I saw the Supra, GTR and RX-7.
So sad to see someone’s business and years of building up a special garage workshop just to be ruined by fire. So heartbreaking to view and see the destruction.. hopefully something can be done to help start this guys business again, and all his employees too. 😢😢
I just found you guys when you first opened this shop and I thought man, you guys made a masterpiece out of it. This is truly heartbreaking to see. I cant fathom the worth in not just price but memories the stuff was to you all and all I can say is I offer my condolences and thankfully no one was hurt. I will say however you did an extraordinary job on this building I cannot wait to see what yall can achieve with the weight of the entire car community behind you. Keep your heads high and be proud of what you guys accomplished. Wishing you all the best.
Wow, so sorry guys. I've been watching from the start and all these videos got me part into cars. This is wild, but we can rebuild together its sad to see all the hard work put to waste because of a fire... We love you guys!
Oh no! This is absolutely terrible. My thoughts go out with you all. I am praying that you all can recover from this in the quickest and easiest way possible.
Regarding the footage, See if you can find any hard drive you had, and send them to a forensic data recovery place, it is amazing what they can pull off, even if the drives have been in a fire.
It might not get it all, or even anything, but it's seriously worth a shot if you don't have offsite backup in any way.
Good luck on your journey to rebuild, so sad this happened to you guys and wish you all the luck going forward.
I think I speak for entire car community and not just in Ireland but I am so so sorry this happened to you. Seeing Adam in tears and hearing Dave choke up about the Spirit Rei. I'd happily give my time to help you guys in whatever way I can. I know you said about Pride but you can still have pride and get help. Please let me know
Takes alot to make a man cry! I'm sure we both are right now dude
I just subscribed recently and was just starting to see your guys videos. I was watching your guys trip awesome video to Japan. I am absolutely heartbroken and devastated to see your hard work and dreams go to waste. I am truly sorry for you guys. Your Dreams will be revived and they will comeback better than ever. This is just the beginning...
For some reason UA-cam's algorithm recommended this video and the first thing I landed on after scrolling to the middle of the video to the guy saying "Please refund all the money if there is a gofundme. We don't want anything for free. We will put a pre-sale and you can byy it from there". This is the first time I have seen someone on the internet saying this and I really hope you guys rebound stronger than ever!
just stumbled upon this randomly.....my heart aches watching this....best of luck on your guys' rebuilding journey
I can’t remember the last time I left a comment on any UA-cam video. But if there’s a time to do it, it was now. Having watched you guys build this brand and everything around it come to this, is utterly sickening. A point in your life where you wish going back in time was possible and that you could wake up from the nightmare. You’ve got the support behind you to build it up better than before and move forward. Continue to tell yourself you won’t give up and this will be the start of a new chapter. Long live DRIFTGAMES!!!
This is heart-wrenching, so sorry for your loss, absolutely devastated to see this. Can't imagine how you all must feel, we as supporters all have your back. You'll rebuild even stronger and better.
This is me first video ive seen on the channel. I feel that suffering that you guys had from loss. This month has been cruel honestly. I wish better for you guys though. :0(.
Don’t even know how Dave had a usable voice to talk with when he walked in… unimaginable.
You could here it in his voice when he looked at the ps13 spirtray car he loved that car even before he bought it and the man is broken and for dicks on the Internet saying insurance job and all that shite some jealous people in this world
Words can’t describe how the entire car community is feeling right now 💔 helped bring so many people together and pushed the scene to be bigger and better. All the love to you guys
Insurance should take care of this. Not the cars tho. Material comes and goes, nothing you can do about it but to move on.
that's a big loss man.
lots of money loss too.
and sentimental cherished memories that are in that building are also lost.
sorry you guys are experiencing this.
im poor so i cant financially help.... but wishing you all my support from canada.
Absolutely GUT WRENCHING footage! When you said “look at her “to the skyline 😢
I am so so sorry guys. This is absolutely heartbreaking! Please stay strong and together as a team! You WILL get over this. Keep your heads up, and have faith the community around you won't ever let you down!
Im so sad to see all these hardworked burn down in hours 😢more power to you guys hope you guys will recover quickly. That lambo bro its not even look like a care
Oh jeez, never seen you guys before, but this video came across my feed. I am so sorry you, and your neighbors, went through this. A fire in a garage is probably one of the worst case scenarios, and even just the rundown of the inventory destroyed in this fire in your garage, let alone the cars in your neighbors' garage is heartbreaking to imagine. Hearing an RX-7 and a Corvette are among the vehicle casualties hit me pretty hard in the feels - they're dream cars for me, and I can't begin to imagine how horrendous it would be to lose either of those if I owned and worked on them. I hope you find a way onward and upward, you and your neighbors.
First time on this channel, and I'm in already in tears. Theres nothing that could replace my builds, MY BUILDS, you can come with a brand new one and it wont be the same. I'm praying for you guys.
Hardest video I’ve watched on UA-cam. As difficult as it is to watch it I can’t imagine how it was being stood there. As many have already said we are all behind you guys to rebuild in whatever form that may be.
I'm so sorry lads only just found you from this video and all I can do is sub and go back and watch your back catalogue of videos.
Fire is the WORST. A wreck can get rebuilt. This absolutely sucks. 💔
Absolutely heartbreaking 😢. To see the damage inside and cant deny the B-roll at the end brought a tear to the eye. I think your first new build should be called the “Phoenix” - rising from the ashes. Heart goes out to the other businesses also.
I've sat down ready to watch this video with a plate of food in front of me... literally haven't even touched it. Just staring at the screen with my jaw on the floor. I'm so sorry lads. This is so heartbreaking, I feel for each and every one of you. I'm sure you will find your way out the other end of this, you all have the support of millions of us behind you.
Oh fuck. I hope guys you have the Power to came back. Wish you all the best.
Just speechless... utterly devastated for you guys... what more can i even say :/
I can't even imagine it myself, not that i would ever want to either.
My hopes are behind you in the no doubt slow and painful recovery, all the best moving forward, in whichever direction the road takes
That was painfull to watch at the end, when you showed just how good that place was. You built one of the best spaces in the world without a doubt, you can always be proud of that. I'm actually a bit lost for words, it's beyond fucking awful what has happened and I hope you can all come out the otherside OK.
Just stumbled across this video this morning, and I haven’t watched one of this channels videos before. But I wish you guys the best of luck with whatever comes next.
Larry Chen did a very god video of how awesome this place looked when they’d just finished it
OMG! I am so sorry this has happened to you guys! To lose so much and stay so positive, I don't know if I could do that. The fact no one was injured was a blessing! This is the first time your stream has appeared in my feed but rest assured, now I'm subscribed and looking forward to watching your rebirth as it unfolds. I sincerely hope the journey is not too arduous and you all stay strong as you navigate this mountain. Love, prayers and blessings to all of you. ❤
i cant even begin to imagine the feelings that this unfortunate situation brings about. i feel heartbroken and they arent even my cars 😅 but im standing by yall ten toes down, praying everything works itself out and yall get back on your feet - with cars and all.
I just found this channel with the Lambo build and was so bummed that the hoodie was limited to 200 pieces! Please print a ton and allow us to support! The car community is gutted, Bro!
to think the Spirit Rei S13 is gone has me in tears, such a legendary car. Its absolutely gutting. The whole of the Irish car scene and beyond are rooting for you
Fire is evil
Cant begin to imagine the heartbreak... Personal memorabilia might of been lost but the memories you guys made together will forever live on.❤
