check out my thread \'trying to wake her up\' for some ideas.

Mine stayed in the garage from July until about 3 weeks ago. Didn\'t do anything at all and she started fine (after charging battery).

couple of things that with hindsight I wouldve done:

1) if possible leave handbrake off and chock wheels (stops brakes binding)
2) sit in and play with clutch every so often (stops it sticking)
3) think about a trickle charger to use (alarms will discharge the battery over a period of time))
4) erm, thats about it I think!

when coming to get her out to play again check tyre pressures, oil, etc. Put new fuel in too as it will denature and go \'off\' if left for a while.
