Father in charge in car club on the continent (6)
I believe the answer is:
africa
'the continent' is the definition.
(Africa is an example)
'father in charge in car club' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'fr' (abbreviation as in a priest's title).
'in charge' becomes 'ic' (abbreviation for 'in charge').
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'car club' becomes 'aa' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fr'+'ic'='fric'
'fric' going inside 'aa' is 'AFRICA'.
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for africa that I've seen before include "Out of -, novel by Karen Blixen (filmed)" , "The dark continent" , "Large land mass" , "Always something new from it (Pliny)" , "Mali's continent" .)
