Wait, What? Videos of Monkeys 'Servicing' Cars Will Make You Look Twice in Disbelief, Bemused Peeps Floored

• A pet monkey named Milo has become an internet sensation after his owner filmed the capuchin under the bonnet of his Toyota
• The five-year-old Milo lives in Durbanville, Cape Town and has been part of Adriaan Pieterse's family just after he was born
• Milo has no problem picking up a spanner and his grease under his nails if it means getting Pieterse's Toyota serviced just that little bit quicker
• Another monkey in the United States was filmed while working on a classic car in California, in that clip the monkey also has a spanner and is working directly on the V8 engine

Working on a car can be therapeutic for many people but is also stressful if the problem means that the vehicle isn't in working condition. However, for two monkeys that were filmed by their owners 'servicing' their cars, it seems to be enjoyable.

Two separate clips of monkeys sporting spanners and attempting to tighten bolts in the engine bay have gone viral on social media. Some commented that the monkeys look cute while another said jokingly that they are getting better than humans.

A five-year-old monkey named Milo has become an internet sensation after he was filmed 'servicing' his owner's Toyota, the Daily Voice reports.

Milo's owner is Adriaan Pieterse from Durbanville and says he rescued the little monkey from Gauteng. On one occasion Pieterse took Milo along to the garage for his Toyota to be serviced and the monkey surprisingly took the spanner and replicated what the mechanic was doing. Milo got onto the engine bay and picked up a spanner, the clip was quite hilarious.

The second clip of a monkey working on a car at a classic car company called Sacramento Fabrication based in Yuba, California in the United States, Viral Hog reports.

The large monkey, named Twitch, is filmed fiddling with the orange-coloured classic car's V8 engine and looks very serious with a spanner in hand.

Twitch shows great interest in the crank and does his very best to 'work' on the engine, it would've been hilarious if he managed to fire up the engine while messing about.

Suzuki's new Baleno set to arrive in Mzansi by mid-2022 with more power and upgraded specs

South Africans love value for money items and in motoring terms, it doesn't come much better than Suzuki's Baleno hatchback, Briefly News reports. The current model retails from R221 900 and offers a good, willing engine, sufficient space and generous features.

The Japanese carmaker recently announced that a new version is on the way to Mzansi and should be in showrooms from June this year. Besides the new exterior styling and interior materials the Baleno will now feature the carmaker's K15B 1,5-litre engine that delivers 77kW and 138 N.m, MotorPress reports.

Thank goodness it's lightweight with a dry weight of 955 kg as the engine receives no cheat codes from a turbo.

In terms of specifications, there are a couple of trim levels available: GL and GLX. The entry-level GL model's notable standard features include cruise control and climate control with rear-mounted air vents, a 17cm touch screen infotainment system and a hill hold assist function.
