"5054" Automotive magazine .

[brianashley]

Anyone bought the first edition yet ?
At £10.00 each with 3 per year. I wonder how it will sell etc .

"Ex " Haymarket , Hilton Holloways's latest venture .

[brianashley]

Well , the EVO community seem not to be impressed !

I read some of it today. Very nicely printed etc .But It all looked messy and in the introduction.They question how it may sell etc . never ever launch a thing unless "ITS READY" No website , nada . Needs a annual subscription so they can at least know how many to print!

What's '5054'?

Based on the clues, a few seconds on Google would have given you a answer .

Badly.

Never heard of it, google 5054 magazine has a twitter feed and this thread above any website of other 5045 references, the website when found (on the twitter link) is a single page of "coming soon".

5054 "Pretentious, moi?"

Too true , what a disaster .

The only 5054 I recognise would be K5054 the prototype Spitfire.

I would imagine there needs to be a min "run " .Lets say 500. wonder if it will even sell 100. Thats a lot of investment down the drain . How come he never even bothered to discuss it on motoring forums before to gain interest ?

[brianashley]

In the hands it feels very nice . Good size, weight and paper etc. Pages not crammed full of text and pics . A Easy read . But a very limited market as it's very "specialist "

If the launch had been delayed until the website and e commerce bit was all up and running . Plus a few good threads accross the forums . It might have stood a good chance of a better start .

Rover 75
A plane , Aston and some other stuff that I could not be bothered with . It's very "Beardy " but not the camp modern one

[brianashley]

Sat down and read most of the first edition today . It was painful to say the least . I cannot imagine who the target audience is .

[brianashley]

Exactly . A complete joke .I doubt we will even see "number 2" . It needs "putting down" and re thought .
