Using the car less

[rObArtes]

Well, i've decided to use my Cayman a little less next year, due to increased mileage i'll be doing for the next 12 months (going to get a new daily drive)
I'll be putting the car in my GF's garage but would like some advise to what i should doing to make sure i keep it in tip-top condition. The garage does not have power, so a trickle charger is not on the cards.

thanks in advance everyone

no, just don't want to put a possible 15-20K miles on it thats all. will be getting a low-miles Mini Cooper S for 12 months.
i'll still use the cayman but only every couple of weeks for a quick blast

no problems if left for 3 weeks?

Any car, especially a relatively expensive one, will depreciate quicker if used as we all know mileage is crucial for residuals......

my thoughts too. just think 20k miles in 12 months is too high.

is it with me getting a bosch battery? as my car battery is an oem

so.. everyone replying use their porker every day?

Well i've taken the plunge and bought a low miles Mini Cooper S (had 2 previously). I'll be using the Cayman most weekends, so hoping I'll not get a flat battery to sort out. Was also thinking of leaving the hand brake off to stop any binding.
Buying the Mini makes me appreciate how good the Cayman is, so i won't be leaving to long for a good drive out.

cheers everyone for the replies
