so i started my car after about 2 and a half weeks

[doxximus]

just been too busy to drive it really, the raider has always just been ready and willing to drive out straight away.

so i ask this, what is the longest you have left your car, not started, in your driveway or garage?

this doesnt include having work done at a workshop. this is genuine neglect

[46n2]

heh mine's been sitting in the shed for 5 weeks now...this is neglect

[funkymonkey]

a month while I was away on holidays. blurted a bit when I restarted it, but after a bit of casual driving she warmed up to it again.

[Let Me Drive]

2 mounths, my farther was surposed to start it but never did, once i got home went straight to the car and nothing did not even turn over, so i thought, charge the battery and it will be all good, so after 6hr waiting watching old tv shows on fox tell i went and tryed but nothing,

so in the end i had to get a new battery was not happy. $160 later (at least it was a upgrade)

mine had a month at the container company in the UK while they stuffed about looking for paperwork that didnt exist and then 6 weeks on the boat here.

Have friends with concours cars in the UK who regularly go 4-6 months in hibernation. They are better prepared for it, some even with special cocoons.

my car sat over in japan for about 4 months .. I assume just sitting there in some storage yard somewhere.

got her in the driveway, turned the key and started.. that was nice even got original japanese fuel with my import.. now that was cool

6 weeks and counting due to my ankle

but before that probably 2 days longest, in around 2 years

I left my car in the carport for 10 days when i was in queensland and it rewarded me by not starting when i got back. Damn alarm had flattened the battery in that short a time.

We've got a 93 Honda Legend which, before we bought it, wasn't driven in 7 years...

Stank inside too :crazy:

thats exactly what happened to me when i went on holidays!

Most alarms will kill the battery in about 1-1.5 weeks if you dont start the car.

Happened to me also when i went to QLD for 6 months and gfriend was meant to start the car every week but her dog kept setting the alarm off and killed the battery

[Mecha]

That must have been a bitch.

For me probably the time it sat in japan and on the boat.(but that dosnt count)

[Downforce]

Well I just got back from Sydney last night... 1 week without driving the 34, started with no probs

[TracidTrax]

u could always take the batteries out cant yas?

[bLiNk]

or disconnect a battery terminal (common paddock bomb practice)

[THE_350GT]

I would have to say for around 2 1/2 weeks, when i went to Queensland. But started first kick, a little rough idle but then was all good..

[WazR32GTSt]

mine hasn't been started for 3 weeks and counting... (was in melb on holiday from qld where my car is)

i disconencted the battery and turned the alarm off though - hopefully she starts!

[d-d]

Mine hasnt been started in over a month due to loss of licence.

Went to start it up the other day but the battery is dead due to alarm i suppose, so ill just leave it till the 19th sept when i get the licence back.
