That story very much reminds me of the time I was driving Jez around in lathany's old Micra.
I drove through this big puddle (at about 30mph) and the engine stopped and the battery died (all the lights went off - it was dark at the time). Then, once out of the puddle, the momentum of the vehicle restarted the engine and the lights came back on.
Jez couldn't stop laughing for quite some time.
A couple of years later he drove his big shiny Subaru Impreza into a puddle and it died and didn't restart. In fact it was written off !
