Change the oil and filter, check the antifreeze, pump up the tires to prevent flat spotting (check pressure in the spring), charge and disconnect the battery, once a month go out and "exercise" the brake and clutch pedal. Leave note on the dash saying what you've done. In the spring, if you want to be really fastidious, charge the battery, pull and ground the plugs, squirt some oil in, crank it over until you have oil pressure, re-install the plugs and start it up. It's better, IMHO, to crank a dry engine without compression pressures on the dry bearings until you get some oil circulating.
