When you are hailing a ride, you never expect to get to your destination in a cool car. If you are standing on a corner waiting for a ride in Trolltunga cliffs, Odda, in Norway, you might hear a familiar sound. As Blue Lightning burbles and pops through its dual exhaust tips, you’ll know your day just got way better.

There are not many people who can say they live their dream. But I am definitely one of them. — Evald Jåstad

If happen to catch a ride from Evald Jåstad, it will definitely make your day. That’s because you will take a ride in his 350-horsepower Focus RS. So far he has covered over 127,000 kilometers in Ford Performance’s hottest hatch in 18 months time, which probably beats your daily routine for the last year and a half.

Evald Jåstad of Norway has the coolest taxi around — a 350-horsepower Focus RS.

“There are not many people who can say they live their dream,” he said. “But I am definitely one of them.” 

Before 36-year-old Evald hits the road for work, he drops his children off at school, and his son seems to enjoy the ride as much as we would.

Evald has already put over 127,000 kilometers, or nearly 79,000 miles, on his hot hatch taxi.

“When I drive him to nursery, all the way there, Martin shouts out ‘Bånn gass! Bånn gass! – More gas! More gas!” he said.

So there is hope for the future of true-blue performance enthusiasts.
