It has to be driven. Period. Twice a month is enough, but I've had experience leaving a CIS car sit long periods of time and here's what you can expect:

Fuel and CIS problems. Will miss, and/or not want to idle.
Brake caliper pistons start dragging.
If you had a few minor oil leaks, they will be worse when you do drive it. I even had oil leaking from the 915 at one point.

If you have to, put it on the calendar, and head out every few weeks on a 1/2 drive or so. You need to to more than just charge the battery and/or idle it in the garage....
