Every Russian in sporty car to gad about (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gallivant

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gad about' is the definition.

'every russian in sporty car' is the wordplay.
'every' becomes 'all' ('all' can be similar in meaning to 'every').
'russian' becomes 'ivan' (I've seen this before).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'sporty car' becomes 'gt' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'all'+'ivan'='allivan'
'allivan' placed within 'gt' is 'GALLIVANT'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gallivant that I've seen before include "tour for pleasure" , "go in search of pleasure" , "follow the primrose path" , "Flit about" , "Gad about, seeking pleasure" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
