    Watching TLD with captions and Dalton apparently says “It must be an atmospheric anomaly”. I always thought it was atmospheric phenomenon, but I went back and sure enough it does seem like it’s anomaly.

    I never noticed until last week that Bond drives a manual DBS in QoS.

    I thought that Craig didn't know how to drive a manual trans?!?

    That's what they said. Strange, no?

    The CR one was manual too, as was the DB10. Why's this noteworthy?

    Supposedly because Craig didn't have a license to drive a manual transmission.

    As intimated by @Reflsin2bourbons above during the run up to CR being released there was the press rumour that Craig couldn't drive a manual car, only an automatic car. I chalk it up to the general negativity over Craig's casting as Bond prior to his knocking it out of the park with his performance in CR.

    We've known that was nonsense for 20 years though, surely.

    Yes, indeed. I think they were just joking above about that though sometimes the meaning can be lost or at least ambiguous in text.

    Pretty sure it was just another CraigsNotBond rumour from the time.

    Exactly. A load of old tosh that the tabloids gleefully ran with. It was probably because he drove an automatic car in the film somewhere and the rumour just grew from there.

    Just like the flak he received for wearing a lifejacket while being transported along the Thames to the press conference. Even though it was mandatory...

    His treatment by the press was a disgrace.
