Vee-Power Sunday provides the perfect dawn chorus

Even as the rain arrives, that hasn’t stopped some hardy car owners from opening up the throttle and letting those glorious engines roar. We’ve seen V8s from Jaguar, Bentley and McLaren, but other less likely protagonists, too, such as a Ford Mondeo ST200 with its Cosworth 2.5-litre V6.

We’re not going to let the rain get us down, how could it when we’re surrounded by some of the best-sounding engines in the world?
