“Our friend Horen’s garage has unfortunately burnt down due to an accidental fire in a joint unit,” a post on GoFundMe read.

“Most of you know Horens from the car scene in Dublin and his love for BMWs. Over €10,000 worth of tools was lost along with 2 of his pride BMW E30s and a few other cars.

“We’re hoping to raise some funds to help Horens get a new unit to rent and help him with the burden of replacing all his tools so he can get back to work.

“Horens has helped many of you over the years with your cars and now it’s time we helped him. Please give what you can to help him get back on his feet. All funds will go towards getting Horens’ tools.”

So far, the GoFundMe has raised €5,264 of the €15,000 target. To donate to the fundraiser to help rebuild the garage, head here.
