Have a 02 tip ... make sure the tire pressure is correct, oil level is good and battery is charged or has a fair charge. Start it up (which may take a few seconds) and let it idle for a bit. Need to ensure the oil has flowed for a bit and let it get to operating temp to burn off the water in the crank. Take it easy for a bit as you drive to the gas station to fill up on fresh gas. Tap the brakes a few times to ensure any rust has been removed and they will stop the car. Once it has fresh gas, go for a nice cruise foa a bit to awaken the car. Try not to drive it hard for a hour or so.

What I usually do is connect a battery charger and run it till the battery is 100% charged ... have a "inteligent" version. I have done this for over 11 years with my earlier 951 and for two years with the Beepster. May pull it out this weekend ...
