check over the car for nests and such..
check the fluids, etc...
change the oil, since its been in your car for a year..
check the battery with a voltmeter...(i've had battery's go bad on me from sitting)even after i charged them they were just shot...
i also take it easy on the car until i can fill it up with fresh fuel....

that list is really good ....

Nope.... that other writeup pretty much covers it all. except I would go ahead and change the oil/filter like what was suggested above.. may even be good to go ahead and replace the fuel filter as well since it has had year-old gas sitting in it....

i would mix some two stroke oil with the fuel (fill it up and put a 1/2Litre of two stroke) to be on the safe side
