I have heard several stories about why Roger wrote "I'm In Love With My Car".
One being about his own Alfa Romeo! Yummy Great taste in cars.
Another that he wrote it about a friend's Triumph car.
Which story is CORRECT?

What's the REAL Story behind Roger's I'm In Love With My Car?
The truth is he is a closet automophile.
He has undertaken psychiatric treatment, but lets be honest here, I strongly suggest you keep your exhaust covered.

You're not forgiven for your ignorance.
Ayrton Senna, brasilian driver, was F1 champion for 3 times ('88, '90 and '91 I think) and died on May 1st 1994 at Imola (if I remember correctly). He is considered one of the greatest drivers of all times.

I wonder how Roger could write a song about his death in 1975...

Nope...don't think in 1975 Roger, unless he was clairvoyant, wrote the song about Senna dyin' in 1994. Guess we can rule that theory out.
Facts! I demand Facts! (laughs)
Basically the song is about John Harris who was Queens' sound engineer in the early to mid 70's. According to Roger in an interview on a program called "In The Studio" he wrote it about Harris who was a big car fanatic and would spend a lot of time taking care of the car. It was even dedicated to him on ANATO lp. Just for the record, he did not die in a car accident and apparently is still alive.
If you look in the booklet of ANATO, then it says:
I´m In Love With My Car
(Taylor)
(Dedicated to Johnathan Harris, boy racer to the end)

I heard an interwiew ... and he said it was about some guy he knew that loved his car.. and nothing else. (also this song is dedicated to Johnathan Harris, boy racer to the end)
He said also that he loved his car as well...
He had Alfa Romeo ????? WOW great!! he has a good taste in cars !! I've always wanted Alfa Romeo :D
