Kyosho Mini-Z 2nd Generation Book

Hello there. Some where in this forum sombody posted that they wanted to list every single AutoScale made including wheel base and motor mount set up's. I tried looking for that thread but could not find it.
Anyway, I just received in the mail today, Kyosho's 2nd generation Mini-Z book. This is one awesome book that every Mini-Z collector should own. It practically shows every single AutoScale ever made and every chassis ever made with the exception of the MR01. I beleive the MR01 was showen in the 1st edition of this book. The 2nd edition, shows everthing from the MR15, MR02, MA010, F1, Lit, Monster and Overland. Great section showing the hop-up parts, how to install the hop-up's, and what not.
The book even includes some of the Skynet models but does not show their dimensions. Example, does not display KITT and KARR's wheel base and motor mount.
If you all wish, I could scan a couple of pages of the book and post it here, or I can just jot down the entire list of AutoScales and their dimensions featured in the book.
They even have a similar book for the new 1/43 scale Dnano but it's out of stock at the moment.

It was purchased for me from a friend who got it from HLJ's web site. I can't enter the full name here cause the forum blank's it out. Actually, this WAS the very book I was looking for, but I was originally looking for the 1st edition of this book which shows the MR01 chassis and it's parts. The 2nd edition I think is probably a better one anyway. I dont' know of any other such magazine unless there are some Japanese magazines produced from fan's.

I will begin scanning a couple of pages of the book into my computer and post the images here. I will also jot down the list of AutoScales and their dimensions. Something that puzzles me about their dimensions, is they dont' list an exact mm. They list something like 62-70mm which doesn't seem to help a lot. But none the less, I will try and put down every bit of information I can pick out. Since I can't read Japanese, I'll just put down what I can pick out.

The book has about 30 pages worth of AutoScale listings, images and dimensions. Do you guy's want the list of colors for each body? Or just each body? Suprisingly, it does not show the limited edition black Murcielago, but it does show the black Diablo. Wonder why that is.
