Default Snow in alloy causing judder

Hi,

Just arrived in Holland last night for Xmas and it's covered in snow. The 8 was in its natural element going through what was 10" of snow at times.

I drove off this morning and a terrible judder started to occur at 40mph...

...turned out a whole chunk of snow was stuck in the front offside alloy.

Just thought i'd post this as a heads up...keep your alloys clear of snow

Oli
