Drive rig with energy (3,2,3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

get up and go

'drive' is the definition.
(I know that get-up-and-go is a type of drive)

'rig with energy' is the wordplay.
'rig' becomes 'get up' (synonyms).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'energy' becomes 'go' (go can mean energy or enthusiasm).
'getup'+'and'+'go'='GET-UP-AND-GO'

(Other definitions for get up and go that I've seen before include "don't bother with breakfast?" , "Enterprise" , "zip" , "show initiative?" , "walk out" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
