Damn that's a big anchor. Yeah I know I often have a story and here he goes again. But....I have another.....
100% true.
My father in the Australian Navy.
They naturally went to many ports in his time.

Is that a Isuzu made engine? Anyway thats a beast output whomever makes it.
Yrs ago I got a Nissan Xtrail diesel. 2 litre. At the time it had more go, nutes, than the Toyota Hilux here and more go than others bigger. Power to weight ratio it was a pretty crazy little diesel. I did a drag from start against a Ford Ranger whatever its name was at the time supposedly the highest newt diesel at the time. The engine in my Xtrail was a french made in collaboration with Renault. Ultra light Xtrail vs the at the time Ranger. I left him for dead. I actually saw his face drop in my rear view. That thing flew. Manual, more grunt than the auto. I loved that thing. Turbo screamed. SSSSSSssssssss..... gone. 😂
Was a very very underrated engine here at the time. Had a lot of fun driving it.
The power to rate ratio. 👍👍

Astoria’s Riverwalk is a scenic path that follows the Columbia River, built along an old railroad line that once supported the town’s bustling maritime trade. Stretching past historic canneries, waterfront restaurants, and active docks, the trail offers a front-row seat to the constant movement of massive cargo ships and freighters navigating the river.
A standout feature is the Astoria–Megler Bridge, a towering steel structure that spans the river, creating a dramatic backdrop as ships pass beneath it. The mix of industrial history and stunning coastal scenery makes this trail a must-visit for those looking to experience Astoria’s deep-rooted connection to the sea.

If its anything like Macca's hamburgers just put it in a cupboard till your old and sell it on the internet for $10,000. It should look exactly the same in 50 yrs time. 👍
