Can you believe it? James Bond, actor Daniel Craig can't drive. Well, a stick shift car anyway.

Everyone knows Bond's car, an Aston Martin is a standard transmission car.

IrelandOnline is quoting sources today that say production of mega million buck 'Casino Royale' has screeched to a halt while Craig learns to drive a stick shift.

This on top of his losing two teeth in a stunt accident earlier in the week.

Didn't Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson (producers) read Ian Fleming's novel before casting the new Bond? What about the film's bonding (insurance) company that now has to pay the "down time" since filming has been halted.

Meanwhile, outraged fans have set up a web site calling for a boycott of the 'Casino Royale' movie. The site craignotbond.com says Broccoli was wrong to "fire popular Bond star Pierce Brosnan and replace him with an unknown with a penchant for oddball roles, Daniel Craig."

Former James Bond actor Roger Moore came to Craig's defense and said "He's a hell of a good actor. Give him a chance."

But Roger: he can't drive!
