Default winter storage

After many wonderful weekends and mild weather in the northeast it is time to put my Gallardo for winter hibernation and I was wondering if I need to do something especial to the car before long term storage. I was told I need to inflate my tires by 20% and disconnect the battery, and start the car up every 3-4 weeks for ~10 minutes. Anything else I should be doing?

thanks in advance...

Put some sta-bil in the gas and drive it a little to be sure it is mixed well. You might also want to hang a moisture control bag from the rearview mirror. It will absorb any moisture so you won't have an odor problem. They use them in boats and RV's......Keep a electronic battery charger on the battery, preferably in the house/basement, battery enemy= the cold.

I would probably lift the car off the ground and put the it on jack stands.
By doing this you will take the pressure off the tires completely. In addition, you will be doing the same for the springs. (Just my opinion).
