When was the last time you got into something cool when you called an Uber/Taxi? 

Most likely nothing as cool as a Ford Focus RS I don’t think?

Well that’s what residents of a town in Norway can experience just that. 

“Blue Lightning” as it is called, is owned by Evald Jåstad, who has racked up 127,000km in the Focus RS in just the last 18 months. 

His car is a hit and has quite a few regular passengers and fans, everything from a 96-year-old to Evald’s son Martin who gets to enjoy the Focus twice a day during his trip to School. 

Check out the video of Evald talking about his life as Focus RS Cabbie below.

Growing up in Tasmania, car culture hardly surrounded Joel. But between Targa, the Australian Rally Championship and V8 Supercars there was enough to build Joel’s passion for all things automotive. Joel got his first big break covering the Australian Rally Championship in the mid 2000s.  His two biggest publishing accomplishments were for two publications which are no longer in print, first one photo published in Motorsport News in the mid ‘90s and then his first feature story published in Speed magazine in the mid 2000s, both from rally events.  He now combines that automotive passion every day in his photography and writing. The best car he’s owned to date was a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX, with the sound of the boxer engine and handling causing him to yearn for another.  If he had the money, he would buy a Dodge Viper from the early ‘90s. Did someone say 8.0-litre V10?
