How do you snap the towing eye? Are you not pulling it square on? What distance are you getting before it brakes? I just find it odd?
you understand the towing procedure right?
If this sounds shitty its not meant to be, just the way it looks not trying to be a twat or anything lol!

Open the front windows and tie a rope around the windscreen. A-pillars will keep it solid!

That's not going to snap it though.

nah pulling requires a rope and a tow eye still
eliphant puts its head on the bootlid and pushes requires a bamboo whip and an elipant its much easier and cheaper

if he turns it in the wrong way a little bit..... then tries to tow it out i bet the thread would snap...
i read his second post..from that i gather its not actually snapping the tow eye 
if it is..he shouldnt contradict himself

It wouldn't go in at all though so wouldn't be able to even attempt to tow it.
