If I excellerate fast, exspecially uphill I will get a James Bond type cloud of white smoke coming out of my exhaust.

My wife said she noticed some slow down in speed when this happened to her but I have not noticed this yet.

White smoke entails to coolant being burn in the cylinders. Recommend you have it block and pressure tested.
