OUR NEW PLAN after our garage and cars burned down…

[@keithvt25]

Lads if you need any electrical work done in the temporary place,or Wayne's place hit me up. I'm only over in Prosperous. 👍🤟💪

[@LukeMohi-w8y]

Good man

[@Joebobinator]

Good man, commenting to bump this!

[@lukeslapz7370]

Top man

[@wallm1206]

Fairplay fella

[@davpunk1986]

Holy shit talk about a phoenix rising from the flames. The absolute balls on you guys going at this again, well done, a 500k kick in the teeth isn’t even near the loss of the memories and cars. Here for this, as much support as it takes ❤❤❤

[@bennygoods22]

Not a huge drift guy but found you when the fire hit, I’ll be staying and watching the builds and going back to watch old content. Heads up guys and good luck

[@jeffhoffman3429]

From a fire alarm tech, please install fire sprinklers in the new compound. I don't want to see your team go through this madness ever again. I know you don't either... much support, cheers!

[@bradleybatt1401]

Full aircraft hanger suppression system would be overkill but not a bad idea with the foam system. But yeah if not sprinklers are a solid idea.

[@baltazard133T]

They had a sprinkler system in the old building that burned down but it was so antiquated it couldn't keep up with the flames. They had even said something about some of the metal sprinkler pipes started to melt because the heat was so extreme.

[@K.r3medy]

They had sprinklers in the engine block but sprinklers just won't help I a fire that came from a garage where there is flammable oil petrol engines etc

[@ATSNorthernMI]

Sprinklers are only designed to get everyone out of the building and not to suppress the fire itself. It happened to a Home Depot here where they had fire sprinklers active and the entire building burned to the ground. The smoke alarms were even late to warn anyone and had staff on the intercom warning people to leave the building. It was the sprinkler system that delayed the spread of the fire allowing for everyone to escape in time.

[@yamac488]

I doubt they’ll ever have to worry about a fire ever again after this nightmare lol probably have carbon dioxide vents pumped into the shop when the fire alarms go off

[@dimprian0079]

Thats something I want to hear ! No spoilers and no to be continued ! Straight to the plan ! Thats what I like to hear guys we are with you now and forever !

[@Yuu_Amazawa]

This channel is so real, not ashamed of numbers, taking leaps of faith, i genuinely think we are witnessing a spark that will only ignite more passionate projects and even bigger accomplishments!

[@spamandsazon]

Dude, I literally lost my sh*t when you said RTR and James are partnering with you on a build. Can't freagin wait to see that!!!

[@gregzz55]

Once you guys have built up this compound, I'm grabbing my friends and coming to experience it. You guys are about to grow tourism and increase revenue in the area

[@GTFCEO]

Hell yeah u in the states? If so let us know when your goin Im flying over the pond too damnit I gotta see this!

[@gregzz55]

​@GTFCEO Unfortunately not. We're a bit closer in the UK 😅

[@Gabriel-o2g6t]

The full Phoenix build!! Back from the ashes. Lots of love from Texas!!!

[@jvrkandc]

DriftGames For The Win !! WE BEHIND YOU GUYS ALL THE WAY.thank you for everything you've brought us over the years.Sad situation that happend....But you'll bounce back.Ive been where you guys were...lost everything....So its very real to me.Stand strong Boys.We here for You

[@jasonfox6013]

A big THANK YOU to the land owner because this journey is going to be GREAT much love from New Zealand guy's

[@tonihaanpaa5138]

I only found out about you guys because of the fire. Watched the video and with my ADHD head decided to buy some of you merch for the support. Only after the purchase I started watching more of your content and have been a fan ever since. This week I got an e-mail that the merch I ordered has been sent. It happened way faster than I thought and then I knew that this setback won't slow you down. Keep up the great work!

[@WLS_Churchill]

Y'all are tough going through this and not give up ! If i lost my shop and business in a fire, it would take years for me to get out of my bedroom. Thank you for the lesson sir !

[@Ste8888]

Exciting times ahead!.Onwards and upwards.

[@simoncoghlan444]

Can't wait to see the compound

[@WexWerxScott]

I shed a tear for the cars and everything that's gone... But I know y'all are gonna come back bigger and better! Can't wait to see some of the new builds!

[@chrisgrassa69]

In all honesty, a Like on the video does not suffice how absolutely ecstatic, happy, and excited for you guys. This is proof that you can do ANYTHING you set your mind to and to never give up. Seriously. Mad love from VA in the US!

[@mikemurphyhotrod]

Great to see you coming back bigger and better.Looking forward to the new builds.👍👍

[@badmontad]

Dave is such a natural leader. Considering all the shit that has happened, the way everything has bounced back is crazy. Could literally convince me to run through a wall for him with all this motivation

[@Fatz666]

Love the way you've doubled down and said that's not how we operate round here!!! Look forward to what cars are being done and big respect to all that have and are helping going forward 👍🏻

[@mikkosaalasti5615]

The World needs more people and communities like you! I used to think that loosing something so important is only bad and sad thing, but you proved me wrong once again. You lost "everything" but without that you wouldn't even plan to carry out something like this!

[@thunder8951]

This is absoultely great and having all the paper work sorted must be a lot off the plate, its good to see it wasnt a total loss and you can rebuild with all the help and community coming together its savage stuff, cant wait to see whats to come

[@chrishiggins1811]

Here from Australia, Drift games will be back bigger and better again. I’m here to see you guys rise from the ashes and rebuild the show

[@lukewickett4428]

Keep up the hard work guys, your content is brilliant, we’re all by your side❤️ stay strong 💪🏻

[@danieleastlund7986]

You’ve heard it so much but I will repeat it all the same. You guys inspire so many all over the place. You can’t give up and you guys can’t give in. You all know all drift community is behind you guys. Can’t wait for the future watching you guys grow huge again

[@D1570R73D]

As a guy who was traumatized in high school by a male teacher, and essentially told by my parents to "get over it", I appreciate you telling your story in the intro and your new sponsor. I still get anxious and cannot work well with male doctors or authority figures. It wasn't until eight years later that I was actually diagnosed with cPTSD and I still feel my parents downplay the effect it's had on me. Guys (at least in the US) are pretty much ignored or made fun of if they talk about real mental issues that don't fit into what pop culture says is ok. Hearing you talk so openly about this makes me want to cry.

[@TiredFawx]

I wish nothing but happiness and security for you in your future, I hope you heal, stay kind to yourself and never be afraid to talk. I'm proud of you.

[@driftgames_life]

We hope you get better friend ❤️‍🩹

[@FYoCouchN]

It's great to hear Mondello and Wayne are true bros. The sponsors doubling down is an amazing feat in itself. I'm super excited about the collabs/future builds coming. Side note Rocky steals every scene he's in.

[@BeardedAxe84]

FYI Better help has an awful reputation. There are a ton of breakdowns on how bad they are

[@xaron.adams7]

gotta make bread somehow

[@the_ambient_light]

And how expensive it all is. But it’s good that they are bringing this subject to the forefront.

[@Zenistful]

agreed

[@veyle-trickshotter5232]

Yea kinda sucks to see them take a sponsorship from them, no matter how much $ they need, being willing to send your fans to scam is how you have no fans.

[@InsertNameHere0369]

The thing about Drift Games fans is this-they know everything they’ve worked for is now gone so takes on sponsorship money for them to rebuild their life’s is a small drop in a ocean they’ve had to navigate.

[@simonmillington9970]

We are all behind you and can’t wait to see the new builds

[@VictorFransen]

Couldn’t agree more with your first words. To be a real man you need to talk about everything and be honest. Big respect to all of you. So sad that the place burned down. My worst nightmare for my shop and for me and my crew cars. Hope everything will sort out soon and be completely back on track. Wish you all the best. Kind regards from Denmark 🇩🇰

[@toddbrown4185]

You have to give it to Modello park for being so welcoming. Amazing having a track support you guys over the years

[@CynisterZ]

I knew you guys weren't gonna let this defeat you, excited to hear about the plans and I'll be damned if I said I wasn't hyped to see what cars are coming to the channel next. I'll be here for the journey no doubt about it.

[@az.legacy]

so happy for drift games getting back on their feet in such little time. even with all the help they've been given I don't think I would be able to just get back to doing what I worked so hard on for 10 years. I can't believe their strength and frankly I wouldn't be anywhere near thinking of building a new place yet.

[@MRTeamB-y7o]

DG taking it to another level. You guys are the only ones taking the risks and getting to the quality builds and content that the US guys are putting down. We are with you all the way!

[@truecapacityfitness1611]

Epic news boys!! So inspiring & encouraging to see you not just getting through this tragic event, but rising from the ashes stronger than ever, with plans to only go even bigger & better… this is everything!! Well done lads 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ianwiggins5499]

Basically getting bigger than better, which is good cause that was a shame not fire all the best hope you do it😮😮😮😮😮

[@shanewinslow7708]

Love that you guys have gone back to your roots for the meantime while you continue to grow being and stronger

[@969outlaw]

Good morning, I started following you guys about a month before the fire.. my heart hurt for all of you and everything you lost. From everything I've seen via social media, you guys do something great for the car culture and have turned me into a huge drift and drift games fan. Thank you for all you do for the car community! Best Of luck to everything in the future and I look forward to seeing all your future content!

[@abrown4075]

What doesn't break you only makes you stronger and better..... so many going on about the insurance without understanding that even if got 100 million euro payout doesn't even come close to what was lost, in this instance most of what was 1 of 1 and irreplaceable. With the new place one thing i would recommend is have the place over insured and ideally a sprinkler system, not saying it would have been beneficial in this case but if 'touch wood' it doesn't happen again, may not be as severe. Time to look forward to bigger and better times. Good Luck all at Drift Games.

[@Long_Shot_Media]

Genuinely looking forward to being along for the ride on this part of your journey guys. Glad you're all looking forward to the exciting times ahead

[@josephgunderson2699]

You have the right game plan. It is always scary with the unknown but you will never get anywhere just thinking about it.

[@billyfernstrom2296]

Just goes to show the love of the car culture. And the sponsors belief in y'all. Accidents happen and even as someone who just watches. Makes me proud they stand behind you. Also goes to show all the hard work was worth it to have them all stand behind you as we do

[@Seb_2412]

This is so exciting, happy for you guys. As a guy who lost his car after it got robbed and burned to the ground by robbers, 3 weeks after you guys lost everything, I can only imagine what you guys have been going through for the last couple of weeks. So much stuff to do for just 1 car, so I'm sure it's a lot of work and fighting with insurance to get something back. I will definitely buy some merch and rock it in my future car (still waiting on insurance refund). Keep going guys !

[@Peace_Eshiet]

I wish you nothing but good luck and blessings for the future. Can't imagine how heartbreaking it must be to lose all your stuff.❤

[@NyghtOwl13]

We all Want to see the future of Drift Games. I tell all my friends about your builds and team. I can't wait to see all the new builds and the new Drift Games Compound. Lets Goooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@SvdB4]

THE PHOENIX WILL RISE AGAIN! I'm so proud of the sheer power of will you guys have. This goes to show that brotherhood, love and positivity still hold value in our current climate. What a story and what a bunch of strong people. The community loves ya'll, greetings and prosperity from Amsterdam❤🎉

[@ingo_dc3505]

Never been so exited touched and emotional over a KZbin Channel. Really rooting for you guys.

[@altypeRR]

Lads it’s great to see you bouncing back. Only been following you for a short while but I genuinely cried seeing the fire. I was told by a very wise man life is not about reaching the end, we all end life the same way. It’s about the journey we take on the way there. The twists and turns sometimes challenge us but the most fun is never in a straight line. Seems very fitting for you.

[@justingreaver2155]

As sad as it is for me to say this publicly but I found out about you guys probably through Adam LZ but never really watched videos on your channel until I saw the video about the fire initially and all I can say is this community, fan base and the connections that have been made throughout your guys’ 10 year journey is just incredible and the fact that your keeping calm cool and collected even through the thick of it going back to the engine block and telling everyone your plans with a slight smile at the least is just amazing you guys have a great crew behind you and I’m very very excited for your guy’s future with Drift Games!! I hope nothing but the best for you guys!

[@Austin_Scarbrough]

The fire brought me to this channel, and though it was super sad to see all of the hard work your guys have put in go up, I'm really glad that it came across my feed. You guys are a WONDERFUL group of people and I absolutely cannot wait to see what you guys do moving forward. Good luck fellas

[@driftgames_life]

Welcome aboard!

[@BradleyFordAus]

I only started following after the fire, but i already feel like I'm on this journey with you. Let's go bigger and better!!

[@Dropde7d]

It’s great to hear the excitement back in Dave’s voice throughout the episode. I cannot wait to see what you guys make in the future and especially the compound! 🚀

[@Mart7y]

I love ow despite all the negatives that could be dwelled upon, you guys are rebuilding bigger, badder and I'd assume more motivated. Could be a lesson for a lot of people like myself who are struggling with feeling stuck. Been a follower from the distance but Dave, you have a new fan just on how you seem to approach life. Thank you and bless drift games.

[@OttCanuck]

Awesome "Short" and Long Term Goals there Dave! Frankly I love the idea of a compound for you guys and the car community, and all your friends. I am sure you have an amazing Architect and planning consultant on board to work with the local council to get this idea through the planning and permit process. I wish you nothing but the best in this new goal.

[@aristojose5754]

drift games will be bigger and better boys and im here for it dont lose that drive and hope and never be too afraid to ask for help. I was born with Cerebral palsy and was a vegetable basically and was told i was never going to live past the age of 16. happy to say I am now 44 and have 3 degrees in the computer field. I love cars but sadly cannot drive due to my condition but I live vicariously through adam lz which is how i found your channel and through the youtube car community as well

[@Reaper_86]

Yo, long time fan from Canada here, let's get this going!! You guys are the best, I can't wait to see it all succeed and have the new compound be somewhere we as fans can hopefully one day come and visit and see it all in the flesh. #NeverGiveUp #DriftGamesLife

[@briangschaefer7048]

Brilliant video! I love your all-or-nothing approach. I am an Australian that is half Irish, and I have learnt so much about myself from watching you and your team rise above the disaster. Congratulations on the plans moving forward.

[@BallisticSollution]

So happy you have a plan and are moving forward from such a tragedy. The way the entire community has gotten behind you guys to lift you back up is just incredible. We'll be here, just don't give up! You guys are legends and so is everyone helping you out! Also, love Rocky, such a cute fluffer pup!!

[@gabrielrenaud1965]

Hell yeah! This all sounds amazing! We are all behind you guys!! Can’t wait to watch it all unfold! Stay strong 💪🏻

[@emartino1978]

Very awesome to see how you and the crew are rising from ashes and building something better. Also awesome to see how the car community takes care of each other. Wishing you all the best of luck from across the pond in the US.

[@picklediddy]

Best Vid in Weeks. "All on Red" needs to be a car name going forward. Full support from down under guys. Thanks for all the continued hard work.

[@stevenemson8180]

Massive set back, but can't get over the drive of yourself and your absolute gem of a team. Keep your chins held high and keep smashing it.

[@davidh6543]

Dave is a flippin' dynamo. Hopefully all the bad luck is used up, onwards and upwards! Thanks to DG for the great vids and bringing us along for the ride. Much appreciated.

[@birelboy1]

Huge respect for the team to pick up the losses and trying to build something bigger and crazier than it already was. Also nice to see the mental health sponsorship on the influencers channels. With the social media of today it is tough to be open about it, because on social media you see only the successes. Having mental issues myself at the moment I can only say it is tough and won’t even wish this my biggest enemy. Just like you said sometimes you feel good and start being positive and something silly happens and everything is negative again. Currently was going on a good streak of feeling good to sitting home with big pain in my back and yesterday crying like a baby, because I needed help to put on my clothes because of the pain. Seeing your videos cheers me up a little bit, so don’t underestimate what these videos can do.

[@wraps633]

A tree loses its leaves every season.... and they grow back because that tree fights to stay alive..... I believe in you guys.... all the way from South Africa... we are here watching to support you.... be strong guys 💪

[@roymccarthy4935]

Hey Dave and team, Sorry for everyone's losses , But fair play, to Wayne n mondello and a site to build to help you guys out.. 👏. 👏👏, Best of luck, guys....

[@r34james]

It's still so heart wrenching to see the clips of the devastation that took place in the engine block but it's so nice to see how positive you are and the plans you guys have moving forward are going to be insane! Can't wait to see you guys come back bigger and better!

[@Foaplo]

I can't wait to see what the future brings for the team, I truly can't imagine how hard this has been for you all. I had my first S13 stolen and that was heart breaking enough for me, I still on the rare occasion have a dream of my current one getting stolen. You guys have done so much for the car/drift community and I'm so stoked to see how many people and companies have jumped in to support! Long road ahead but you guys have got this!!! 💪

[@jessemorgan3409]

Best of luck boys!!! You should do a give away around the time of the ribbon cutting maybe put some one up for a week, no matter where they are from, and give them the drift games experience. We’ve all been watching and supporting and it’d be cool to bring one of us along to close the circle!!! You already know how to swim so jumping back into the deep end won’t be an issue. Escorted to see your new seeds grow!

[@baronridgeback]

I'm relatively new to you guys, the car community I follow and their support of you in your time of need drew my attention to what happened, what you had collectively achieved and who you are as a team. Oh boy, and what an epic crew you all are! How i've been blind to your presence all these years I just can't fathom. I guess drift cars not being my thing explains it but as a fellow petrolhead I still can't understand how you were not at least on my radar. But that past misses the point of todays future. Borne from those ashes, now rises a whole new Drift Games phoenix! New dreams, new goals, new content rich challenges are ahead. That is the real fascination here. As a tight and spirited team, with a video pedigree and brand to be proud of, you have the support of hundreds of thousands of subscribers and the wider car community in their millions. This re-birth is shaping up to be one radical, exciting and most importantly from a commercial perspective "watchable" journey. You guys are clearly going to smash this and I can't wait to see this Drift Games phoenix rise! Best of luck from here-on-in boys!

[@KoRbA2310]

01:30 You didn't waste any time, the memories and friends you made along the way are the things you can build upon. Chin up and go forward, we are here to support you guys!

[@ashleighclute]

Congratulations on not giving up! you and your team will make it and do it bigger! i can't wait to see the new builds, cars and new HQ!

[@Reddrag0n89]

Nice builds coming, cant wait for it all. So happy that people support you guys so much. Amazing plans for the future, you guys ROCK! Good luck boys!

[@adamshomo3354]

So much respect for you guys, so many people think men are all just supposed to internalize all our problems, it’s expected at this point, so nice to hear others speaking up and speaking out, we all have downs, it’s ok to talk about it, break down be emotional. We shouldn’t have to hide it and suffer. Respect for getting the help you need and talking out your feelings. Been going through some tough times as well and this is the best advice anyone can give, talk to someone, be emotional, you’re no less of a man for showing emotions. 🤙🏻

[@Tipperdown]

As unfortunate as it may sound i only found this channel when the fire episode was on my YT suggested videos to watch. But I’ll say this…im glad because i’m locked in now. I watch and like every video. This is a very entertaining channel to watch and im very much looking forward to seeing how you guys bounce back. Wish you guys nothing but the best!

[@columkeenan989]

Lads, like so many people I was absolutely gutted for all of you when the fire happened and I can't even begin to imagine what this has done to all of you and all of the ups and downs you've experienced since but I'm so delighted that you're pushing ahead and building bigger and better and I've no doubt the great car community we have in Ireland will be supporting you all the way so hats off to all of you and here's to the future. Best of luck lads and look forward to the future for yas

[@rikkimillett7821]

Dave and all at drift games, your all legends... Best if luck with it all.. when thag compound is done ill be over from the uk to check ot out.

[@progressive_rc]

You made me cry with the part of opening it on the day of the fire... Can't wait to get the merch I already got, I'd love to buy more, but I got what I could... All the best for you boys! ❤

[@ATSNorthernMI]

I watched one fire scene video and youtube started recommending more and more until I was binging on them one night and this channel popped up. I am heartfelt over the loss of your business and learned one thing from watching the content is that you guys have a strong community behind you. After seeing the destruction, youtube started recommending more channels where the content creator lost everything in a fire and they rebuilt back better than before. I am confident you guys will return strong and prosperous. Thanks for not giving up and continue to plow forward. You give me the courage to continue making content and build a channel to share my story. Thanks again.

[@wogelkrafts]

Phuh, such a fitting sponsor for this video! ❤You guys have come to so faar and grown so much, on a whole another level, keeping it REAL! 💯

[@grantlingley1385]

So excited to see where you guys will go over the next year and into the future! You are such a cool bunch and I love how you have looked out for each other through it all!

[@DarrenHarrington]

Delighted ye are going bigger. Things are looking up for ye. Well done all.

[@sparky6307]

cant wait to see how it turns out, you guys got this !!! seeing how excited you are to start new and embrace change is so inspiring

[@blacksheepbr2322]

So excited for you guys! I know your cars felt like your identity, but your team is about the people, and you still have that. Happy to support you and be a very tiny part of your future.

[@befer]

that video was real as fuck. Especially the social media projecting and genuinely waking up and just feeling powerless. It's something i can relate to a lot, even if seemingly you have a lot of things to be grateful for, but its hard to look aside from all the shit that hovers above your head. Especially right before or right after sleep

[@flicklepickle7611]

As the list of cars was being spoken, this gave me goosebumps and shivers. I don't know any of you, I doubt I ever will. But I've followed the journey of this page for a long, long time. I cannot being to imagine the effect this has had on the people behind DriftGames, but also their friends and family. Kind of a sense of speechlessness and numbness.

[@lowerd1]

That C10 rebuilt with the fire burned metal body would have been kind of cool. Full on Christine vibes especially with it smoking the tires and some red headlights.

[@cassiejorgensen4787]

You should keep the shell of the spirit ray s-13 and rebuild it!!!!

[@stancenz2095]

Absolutely stellar support from all your sponsors and people in the community, love to see it :)

[@TexasDmax_2k]

Hurts so much knowing a handful of the cars had literally just been finished after so much hard work 💔

[@pedroguimaia]

All-in Let's Goooo!!!!! I wish you lots of happiness, goals, and achievements ❤

[@CheckpointJapan]

It’s inspiring seeing how many people have risen to the occasion to help the Drift Games team out. Can’t wait to see what the future looks like for you guys. 😎😎

[@Hatomix]

It's awful what happened, can't imagine how hard it would be for me to be in that situation, but show that you're strong guys! You can pass the test that life has thrown at you, good luck!

[@riddlemethis01]

I love to see you guys bouncing back bigger and better than ever.

[@finalform2625]

[@gerrardhickson9471]

@Dave oozes the big brother vibes, but it can't be understated what a top teir boss man he is. Confidence, Vision and Direction. No better man to head up the rebuild.

[@acclimateservices]

Wish you guys the best of luck, can't wait to see your future builds and really hope you get approved for the new spot.

The dark is where the growth takes place. Smile and know when you get through this you will be better.
