The guy   was Sepp Maier,  former  renowned goal  keeper of   the German
national soccer team (in the seventies? eighties?  can't remember).  And
yes,  the sheet metal  in the pic he's showing  is what was left over of
his  Syncro  after  he  totalled   it  (totally   drunk, if  I  remember
correctly).  Miraculously he  himself  got  away, though badly   injured
(there was more to it than just his face hitting the windshield ...)

Stay sober.

Sincerely
 Rainer
