| 20 | Feature | It's all in the Numbers! Some thoughts on the significance of numbers; musings on s/n 0911 GT John Starkey Courtesy of John Starkey There is a branch of mathematics called numerology.

This is because numerology is based upon the significance of seemingly random number occurring frequently. |

Below you'll see that certain Ferraris caught his fancy, while others barely rate a comment. |
