There may be one or two from the Somerset levels looking like that in the future I would imagine, resulting from the appalling floods that were suffered earlier this year. Hopefully any vehicles involved would have swiftly had their carpets removed and dried through thoroughly etc.

Incontinent driver?
When I was looking for a 993 one of the annoying things was the stupid polystyrene sound deadening that was glued to the floors underneath the carpets.
Most of the time it was pretty shoddy and if you really wanted to check the condition of the floors underneath you had to destroy it to get it out which meant buying new stuff at about £100 a side.
Also being polystyrene it seemed the ideal material to absorb and hold on to any water that actually got under there.
The car in the picture is a left hooker. Are they fitted with the same horrible polystyrene stuff? Doesn't look like it, or the majority would still be stuck to the floor.
What ever happened to good old felt that you could take out and dry in the sun if there was any water ingress?
Anybody ever removed this stuff to actually check the floors?

Yes and as you say it totally disintegrated. The only corrosion was in the rear n/s foot well where most of the water had collected unfortunately it had got into the immobiliser and ruined it, which is why I had to look. Luckily the ECU was ok. Replacing the immobiliser was pretty tedious. The replacement drivers side padding was not made out of the same material, it was mainly the spongey stuff rather that the polyurethane.
