[W126 Coupe] Sleeping 560SEC

[Camran Nassiri]

Thanks Bellamy- I put gas stableizer in a full tank and have it parked in a 
53 degree shop.  I guess I will start it at least once a month and run the 
tranie through all the gears.  I also have a battery trickle charges 
attcahed to make sure I don't totally kill the battery.

Thanks for your help.
Camran
