The World's Coolest Taxi Driver Has A Ford Focus RS As His Work Wheels
If you’re a taxi driver, ideally you want a car that’s roomy and frugal. Something like a five-year-old Skoda Superb, perhaps. Evald Jåstad is no ordinary taxi driver though, as he has a Ford Focus RS as his work wheels. And in 18 months, he’s clocked a heroic 78,000 miles. Presumably free of any head gasket issues…
His stomping ground is the town of Odda, Norway and its stunning surroundings, where locals have taken to calling the RS ‘Blue Lightning’. He lives locally with his wife and two kids, and his young son clearly loves riding in his dad’s unconventional cab.
Looks like a pretty sweet life to us…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Who else noticed that Sierra Cosworth?
What about the taxi driver in my town with a STI?
Ford better give him a brand new one!
My thoughts too. He is basically doing marketing for them
