Just get someone to look after the car for you - I'm sure you'll get lots of offers!

Have you not had anyone offering to drive it for you? I'm off next month and I've been inundated with offers.

S1 elise has been fine after being left for a couple of weeks. Obviously this is no guarantee that your car will be :D

My S2 (toyota engined) was fine left for over a week. I'm sure David Bryce left his for about 3 weeks and it was fine. I think you'd be fine with leaving it for 2 weeks, but don't quote me on that! :D

3 weeks and it started fine. Tucked up nice and snug under its cover, bit slow to crank at first but went ok.
