The Tailoring Talk Magazine

221. Roberto here! When my BMW M2 G87 had to go in for some TLC at CT Carbon, I expected a courtesy car with a bit of punch. Maybe another M car. Maybe an RS3. Instead... I was handed a basic, manual MG3.

I haven’t driven a manual in over 20 years — and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting much. But what started as a frustrating downgrade quickly became a surprising day of reflection.

In this episode, I review the MG MG3, share what it taught me about the cars we take for granted, and why I ended the day with a whole new appreciation for my BMW — and driving in general.

Whether you're into hot hatches, M cars, or just love the open road, this one’s for you.

What you’ll hear:

• My honest experience with the MG3
• What it reminded me about the joy of driving
• How it changed the way I view my M2 G87
• A few thoughts on gratitude and perspective behind the wheel

217. In this explosive episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Jon, Alex & Roberto dive head-first into the high-octane chaos of Mission: Impossible – Fallout — the film that pushed Tom Cruise (and his ankles) to the limit and raised the bar for action cinema.

From THAT halo jump to jaw-dropping helicopter chases, we break down the adrenaline-fueled set pieces, unpack the film’s moral dilemmas, and debate whether Ethan Hunt is a true hero or just addicted to the chaos. We dig into Christopher McQuarrie’s razor-sharp direction, Henry Cavill’s moustache-fueled menace, and why Rebecca Ferguson continues to steal every scene she's in.

Is Fallout the best in the franchise? Or just the most intense? Join us as we rank, rave, and wrestle with the question at the heart of it all: how do you top perfection?
