Yes it did! And more than once. This is Shilton Ford not 2 miles from the Cotswold Wildlife Park beloved of older micronauts, but who of you chanced a dip in all those years? It was reasonably deep on this day, but it has a good flat sill, so as fords go, it is actually not a bad one, as it has a consistent wide depth with solid bottom. On this occasion the simple crossing became a dual to the death between Dave in his trusty Trojan Bumbly and Mike in a Trabbi. The Trabbi lost! The water killed its electrics. Several other Trienkels were present and, I think, two scooters. The rest would not come because it was wet....Yeah fords are, so does it matter if it is raining?
On another occasion with slightly less water it was a competition to round up as many small fish as possible in the leat without swamping the car. Highest collection got a prize in the very good nearby pub. Such was the fun of bubbling back in the day.
