    Should you turn it over occassionally or just let it sit for the full 4 months?

    Just leave it, why have it idle building up condensation. Nothing wrong with letting it sit for 4-5 months.

    +100000 - if you can't get it up to operating temp by driving it (for 15+ minutes) not idleing it (for 1+ hour) don't start it- just leave the battery tender on it.

    Just leave it Max.

    I've had cars sit for 6 months and fire up without a problem as long as you have it hooked up to a battery tender.

    We can't buy "gas stabiliser" here in the UK but never had a problem, we get pretty good fuel over here.

    Unfortunately I started it before this thread :) I will take it out for a spin then when the snow clears. Snow tyres on the lambo though, so that is now worry.
