ON time, all the time. It sounds
like the Japanese just-in-time manufacturing
philosophy which, not surprisingly, is practiced by one of the

held the fourth staging of the annual Toyota Road Trek, which this
year called for just-in-time, on-the-dot precision driving, not to

driving activities more of a pleasure and less of a chore but
promoted local tourism as well.
