Crossword Genius

Hurry around in this vehicle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

runabout

'this vehicle' is the definition.
(runabout is a kind of vehicle)

'hurry around' is the wordplay.
'hurry' becomes 'run' (running is a kind of hurrying).
'around' becomes 'about' ('about' can be a synonym of 'around').
'run'+'about'='RUNABOUT'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for runabout that I've seen before include "light aircraft of this type" , "mini perhaps" , "little motor" , "Small light vehicle" , "Small car for short trips" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
