Post Speed Loss
Hi guys

Just a question for you techinical bods...

I went out in betty yesterday and she was doing ok got just over 70 mph out of her this was downhill she isn't that fast then as soon as i hit the uphill she just lost all her speed she went from 70mph to just under 50 in the space of about 20 seconds, i know that 2cv's dont go very fast uphill (unless its harrys) but is there anything i can do (harry/dad can do) to make her not loose it quite so fast or jsut make her generally a bit faster because she only usually sits just above 60?
