SOME MORE HAGGIS. . .
Kevin Haig was — and remains — a perfectionist. He cut and polished his Snap-On tool cabinet. It was said he could listen to an engine and then order the parts before pulling it to pieces.
His first car, bought at 13 or 14, was a Graham Hollywood that he did rings and bearing on on his parent's front lawn in Macandrew Road, South Dunedin.
I once saw him do rings and bearings on a 1200 Mark 1 Cortina dressed in his clean casual clothes. He knew what he was doing, but he used long sockets and just the tips of his fingers which barely got oily. It took about 90/95 minutes, it was fired up, Kevin poured a can of Brasso slowly down the carb throat while holding steady revs - blue smoke poured out the back. He then said to the waiting owner, "There you go, take it for a fast run to Port Chalmers and back..."
Once a year there was a "motor show"in Dunedin and a side attraction was an engine building competition which was keenly fought over among the local motor trade. Sometimes it was a two-person team, sometimes just one. I think the engines used were Standard 10 and the contestants had to start from scratch and get them running. People practiced for months doing it.But Kevin Francis Haig he was unbeatable — year after year after year.
Today, Kevin still works for Caterpillar, travelling the Americas trouble-shooting and living in Columbia.
