I wonder what is the best, non destructive point to attach a tow line to an Atom, I'm referring to Atoms without the optional towing eye?
I've heard some horror stories (previous forum) of over zealous trackday marshals causing suspension damage by attaching their towing lines to wishbones etc, whilst dragging the car off the track.
Is there some location (front & rear) that we Atom owners should be aware of in the event we need to be hitched up?

Re: Atom Towing Points?
ALWAYS REAR.
NEVER tow an Atom out of kitty litter or off the green stuff by the front if you can avoid it.
There are two bars at the rear to throw a strap around. The one below the numberplate is the best one.
If you can't get to the rear, the hoop is also a possibility. It might damage the air intake, but if you need a tow that badly, that's probably the least of your worries!
