James Bond can’t drive the new Aston Martin?

As you probably know, in the new movie “Casino Royale,” James Bond is set to drive the new and beautiful Aston Martin DBS, based on my favorite Aston, the DB9. The funny thing is, Daniel Craig, who is set to play Bond in the new movie cannot drive a stick.

There are a couple of quick solutions to this, which for some reason don’t seem to be entering anybody’s mind. The obvious one being Craig learns how to drive a manual. I don’t really see the problem with this one (doesn’t anybody on the set know how to drive a stick?) but if that doesn’t work for whatever reason, they could simply outfit the car with the six-speed ‘Touchtronic 2′ fully automatic transmission that is optional on the DB9. Or better yet, bring me in to drive it. Yeah, I like that one.

This bit of news just ruined the movie for me. I always have looked up to bond and even though I know that its all fiction and that the actor can’t really thrill and kill in real life as he does on screen, knowing that even a mundane thing like a stick can stump our newest 007 definitely is a downer. Guess a license to kill does not mean you should have a license to drive a Aston.
