Ford Mustang RTR: Personalisation Package That Delivers More Than Just Looks

The RTR package for the Ford Mustang goes beyond a typical body kit and louder exhaust, though it comes at a significant price.

May 2025: New housing starts drop 21% from April

Poland's housing market cooled sharply in May after an optimistic April, with new housing starts falling by over 3,000 — a 21% drop compared to the previous month. Despite the decline, it was still the best May in four years. Completed dwellings rose year-on-year, but weak earlier months mean the annual pace of completions is the slowest in eight years.
