Ford SYNC brings Jay Leno and Jimmy Carr closer together

Comedians Jay Leno and Jimmy Carr have played their part in US and UK relations with a joint gig – from Ford Focus cars 6,000 miles apart, as part of the Ford of Britain Centenary Tour.

From his garage in sunny Hollywood, Leno used Ford's Wi-Fi-enabled SYNC system to chat with Carr, who was parked outside the slightly less glamorous surroundings of the Corn Exchange in King's Lynn as Leno was quick to point out.
