After those awful thunder storms last week, in which my car was parked outside, I got in and went for a drive.
Fortunately not trying to impress anything in a skirt.....

First two bends the car proceeded to deposit about a quarter of a pint of very cold, rather dirty, water on each of my ankles. Never done that before. Clearly telling me off......

The favourite damp patch (!) on mine is down behind the seats..... The half pint under the dash was a new one on me.

If I recall correctly, its been mentioned on here that water can get in through the windscreen washer pipes if not sealed (or stuck) in properly.

Also worth checking around the pedals for any obvious signs of ingress.
