Trailering a MINI

So, how do you folks tie your MINI to a trailer?
flat bed or enclosed, how/where you do attach it?

I know suspension parts are not an option for attachment points.

Thanks,
kmickey

I just run straps through the wheels to d-rings. I know, its probably not the best way, but, I've had zero issues so far after thousands of miles.

Straps through the wheels at all four corners. Agreeded, it may not be the best but not a problem so far.

I also strapped on suspension components (control arms) right up tight againts the hub pick-up points.
This is not a bad thing to do. Hand brake on and in gear and there is really no over stress here. Hook-up on the wheels is fine, better actually. Not a whole lot else you can do on a Mini.
