Subject:      Rialta sighting
Comments: To: vanagon@vanagon.com

Hey all,
Saw a Winnebago Rialta today riding my ass in the middle lane of I-95
here in northern Virginia today.  I was driving my '81.


I was going about 60, passing someone in the right lane.  He came right
up on my bumper and stayed there.  As I pulled back over to the right
lane the road started going uphill.  I noticed that he couldn't pass me
going up the hill.  I was going between 55-60, holding it on the hill
with my 2.0L air-cooled (just barely!) and he seemed to be having
trouble getting past.  He stayed even until the road leveled out and
then he passed.


They're interesting but too blatently RV-ish for me :-)  Not to mention
too water-cooled, too front-engined, and too expensive! :-)


Oh well, just thought I'd report the sighting.
