Cars & Coffee at Bosch HQ
23 April 2025 Bosch Motorsport
On Sunday 23rd March, Bosch HQ transformed into a vibrant hub of automotive enthusiasm, hosting the 15th edition of Highball Cars & Coffee. The event was a powerful blend of stunning vehicles, passionate enthusiasts, and a shared commitment to supporting a special cause.
From meticulously restored classics to modern performance machines, the diverse range of vehicles on display reflected the deep passion and dedication within the Australian automotive community that we’re so proud to be a part of. A sea of azure covered the front lawn at Bosch as the 15th event’s “blue” theme coaxed out pristine vehicles from across Melbourne. The air buzzed with conversation, the sound of finely tuned engines, and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee - a perfect recipe for a memorable Sunday morning.
But Highball Cars & Coffee is more than just a display of automotive excellence. It’s a platform for community engagement, a place where enthusiasts can connect with one another and contribute to an important cause. Highball Cars & Coffee collaborates with Victoria Police Legacy to support police families throughout Victoria who have suffered the loss of a loved one - in particular, the children of fallen officers.
The response was truly inspiring. Thanks to the generosity of attendees and vendors, and Bosch Australia’s contribution of $2 per coffee sold at the event, we were able to raise an impressive $8,876 for Victoria Police Legacy. This sum will go towards providing invaluable support for families navigating incredibly challenging circumstances.
Former Victoria Police Inspector, Bob Raaymakers, the Community Engagement Coordinator at Victoria Police Legacy, shared the impact of these contributions: "These donations make a real difference, supporting police families with activities and grants.”
Bosch is proud to have hosted this event, aligning with our commitment to supporting the community and fostering a spirit of collaboration. As a leading global supplier of technology and services, Bosch has a long history of supporting motorsport and high-performance applications. It was inspiring to see the sheer diversity of vehicles on display, sparking lively conversations about automotive technology, both new and old. We even spotted a few classic Bosch components still plugging away. How’s that for reliability!
Visitors also got a closer look at the Bosch Motorsport high-end electronics range, sparking some exciting ideas about how these parts could transform their cars - parked on the event lawn - into serious contenders for the next Sunday track drive. Events like Highball Cars & Coffee provide a valuable opportunity to connect with enthusiasts and demonstrate our dedication to innovation and community engagement.
We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who participated, contributing to the success of this event and making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Let's continue to celebrate the automotive passion that unites us while embracing opportunities to give back and support those in need. We look forward to seeing you at the next Highball Cars & Coffee event!
