A Happy New Year to all our Surfcoast Corvette Members. For the occasion I have decided to put “pen to paper” and come up with a New Year’s Poem to welcome in 2024. Please be kind – I’ve done my best.
CORVETTE NEW YEAR 2024
Last year is done and dusted, it’s time for twenty-four,
But twenty-three really wasn’t half-bad with Covid out the door.
We got back in our Corvettes with their roaring Chevy V8s,
Haulin’ down the highways, cruising with our mates.
We even had a Nationals, in Ballarat, built on gold,
Two happy warm and sunny days, but the nights were bloody cold!
Things looked a little different, with those ‘new-fangled’ mid-engine cars,
But they still all come from Bowling Green in the land of “Stripes & Stars”.
Now Summer’s here and all is set for car shows and a cruise,
Maybe even a trip interstate – it’s up to you to choose.
So, polish up your mighty Vettes to look their very best,
Scrub their wheels, clean their engines – make them stand out from the rest.
Let’s hear again those thumping big-blocks and the screaming LT3s,
The roar of a supercharged Z06 can bring a tremble to our knees.
But make the most of your Vette each year, starting with twenty-four,
For who knows when our gasoline will suddenly be “no more”.
We’ll all have electric power, derived from wind and sun,
No more V8 powerplants – how can that be any fun?
So, Happy Vetting for twenty-four, just let your Vettes run free,
‘Cos cruising down the Surf Coast is the best place you can be.
