Soon, I am of for about 8 weeks holiday.
If this too long of a time to leave my FTO behind without running?
I can always get my gf to start the car once a week, as the gf is not coming with me, however, I rather gf doesnt touch the car at all.
She doesnt like my gf too much.

just disconnect the battery & you should be fine, 2 mths isn't that long.
Most mechanics & panel beaters had cars in their workshop much longer then that, while they are waiting for parts.

your fuel economy will be bad once you get back
it happened to me... the fuel that was in the car gave really bad economy... but when i filled up again.. it was all good again!

Seriously but we can look after it for you man! Bet you we can get a really good price on ebay for it as well.
I'll see if I can get that girl we saw at tennis the other day in the car waiting for you.
I lost the first set because of her!
Too distracting!

My FTO was at the panel beaters for years and was started last week for the first time.
