One, two, one, two, okay, okay. Here we go.

Okay, folks. Welcome to the isolation tapes.

It's a slightly different vibe today.

As you can probably hear, we are on board the Fabia.

Still going.

A bit of a treat. Today this is the last ever isolation tape.

And I am driving through Buckinghamshire for a relatively short drive.

But nonetheless, one that is going to take in no less than three separate motorways.

For those of you concerned, I am not using my hands to record.

I've got the phone attached to a little gorilla gripper pod tripod.

Thripped around my interior door handle.

It does mean I'm going to have to remember the route from memory, but shouldn't be too tricky,

though the route encompasses the less than three motorways. I am able to sort of follow it in my mind.

And now also something pretty special. I can't promise this because I'm not entirely sure of the exact

distance of the route. But at present, the Fabia sits at a cool 176,942 miles.

We could be passing 177,000 miles as I get overtaken by a Honda CRV. Fair enough.

I've just got that little bit of extra engine power on the long uphill I've got here.

Beaded so with all due care.

Yeah, so it's possible that we could capture on audio the 177,000th mile of the Fabia,

who knows a red kite circling above this beautiful little railroad.

I'm going to singling out some prey. Maybe a mouse.
