A new joint operation - called Operation Vortex - has gotten underway today (Wednesday 19 January 2022) in Oldham to crack down on vehicle crime and traffic offences in the district.
The Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit, along with officers from GMP's Safer Transport Team and officers across the Oldham District, worked along the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency at a static base in Chadderton, stopping a number of vehicles either committing traffic offences, or vehicle crime.
Two men arrested, one on suspicion of driving while under the influence of drugs, and one for driving while disqualified and remain in custody for questioning, ten vehicles have been seized for being driven with no insurance, and one stolen vehicle has been recovered.
In addition, officers also reported 35 traffic offences for a range of driving offences.
Chief Superintendent Mark Dexter from GMP's Specialist Operations said: "This will become a regular operation across Greater Manchester, where we will strive to make our communities and roads safer, tackling illegal vehicles which we know that are all too often used in crime and cause harm and misery on the roads.
"I hope this sends a strong message to anyone thinking of breaking the law on our roads, that we are watching, and we won't hesitate to take action to remove you and your vehicle from the road."
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
You can access many of our services online at www.gmp.police.uk

I went to Hasselt again to witness the opening fireworks of the yearly one week big fair.
Well, you know what they say about fireworks... they only go straight up and say BOOM.
So, enough of that and time for some changes in my nocturnal image collection with this new multi dimensional Vortex attraction... obviously also attracting a lot of other spectators :)

Recently I published "Portal - Book 2 of the Vortex Saga" on Amazon and I decided to slightly re-design the cover of Vortex. This is, of course, an excuse to plug my books again :)
More details of Vortex and Portal can be found on my profile, and for genuine feedback I've received, please see the next pic.
This Vortex was built - incorporating modifications - from plans by owner Brian Thompson. It has a Triumph Trophy 1200cc engine. Like the original Marcos it has a plywood structure with body panels in fibreglass. The interior is trimmed in leather. Seen at the North Norfolk Car Club's Show n Shine Evening.
Now and then we have some large coils in our warehouse waiting to be shipped to a customer. I have taken several photos of them as they stay here a few days. This one looks like falling into a vortex!

Some people might wonder why anybody would even post such an idiotic picture. Not me. I love it.
Junto a las cataratas del Rhin, en Schaffhausen, Suiza, hay una máquina que, por medio de una manivela, crea un vórtice en el agua encerrada en un cilindro transparente. Además, la máquina tiene un medidor de energÃa, que te permite visualizar el esfuerzo realizado para crear el vórtice. La vista es desde abajo. Detrás, las nubes.

Left unfinished this piece has rusted - the effect is stunning against the pale Derbyshire stone and planting. Hand forged by Artist Blacksmith Adrian Stapleton at Trinity Forge
Occasionally you see these interesting sun patterns through the clouds. This was off the right side of us while flying to Miami. Kind of an actual vanishing point (artist reference).

Made by Nottingham Artist Blacksmith, Adrian Stapleton, he calls this pieces Vortex. It has so much movement in it.
