Teazers' Lolly buys R2.5m car

Johannesburg - Teazers strip-clubs boss Lolly Jackson has added another Lamborghini to his collection of sports cars.
Jackson bought the yellow Lamborghini Gallardo at an auction during the Unite of the Stars gala evening in the Coca-Cola Dome, Randburg, and paid a cool R2.5m for it.
Jackson was trapped in July near Edenvale on the East Rand when he went through a speed trap at 249km/h.
He had to pay a fine of R20 000 in September for his moment of madness but, according to the public prosecutor, he came up with the money in no time.
Jackson said afterwards he had learnt his lesson.
"I don't speed any more; I have decided to become a well-behaved boy."
But, he still does not allow an opportunity to pass when he is allowed to speed under the watchful eyes of the metro police.
On Friday, in the Sandton street race, he stepped on the accelerator of the Lamborghini in which he had been caught speeding in July.
Decisions, decisions, decisions!
He has five Lamborghinis, two Mercedes-Benzes and two Ferraris.
Although Jackson sometimes has to say "eeny, meeny, miny, mo" in the mornings to decide which car to use, he reckons it is not too difficult to make a decision.
"All I need now is a different girl in every car."
According to Grant Anderson, national head of marketing for Lamborghini and Investment Cars, a woman initially bid R2.5m for the Lamborghini, but there was a hiccup and Jackson then bought the car at the same price.
The auction was in aid of four welfare organisations, one of them the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund.
