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.

OMG!!! So I went to ODDA back in the summer of 2016 and hiked up trolltunga and saw this guy! At the time, I was blown away and was telling my friend girls crazy this is - he didn’t care, he’s not a car guy.
I wonder if this guy has just kick started off a trend, next taxi drivers will b using Evo’s, Wrx’s, Altezza’s and all other manor of 4door high performance cars, awesome taxi though
