    Do they sell orange5 to non audi owners? (With a roof rack 🙄 )

    I don’t and none of my riding buddies do either.

    One has some old oddball patriot with different travel and geometry apparently, which makes it more like a burly 5, but it’s not a 5.

    Only know one chap who drives an Audi, but he’s got a specialized.

    Ditto lenhankie, Orange 5 (08 model), A4 Avant, used to live in Surrey. However not in IT so I don’t qualify for the full stereotype.

    I do, a 2009 in Mandarin Orange (also have a Soul). Don’t ride in Surrey Hills much these days, but Swinley yes.

    No Audi (used to have an S3) but I do have an old 3 series estate touring.

    No fancy coffee machine, but I do have one of those stove top percolator jobbies that I bought when I worked in Spain 13 years ago.

    I do work in IT.

    Am I cool or am I a tool?

    So, does anyone meet all four stereotypes? ( Five, Audi, Gaggia and career in IT)

    Just the Audi, Gaggia and IT here. Does an Anthem get close to a stereotype?
