Crossword Genius

Dressed, ready to drive off? (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

in gear

'ready to drive off?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for in gear that I've seen before include "like moving heaps?" , "Performing effectively" , "ready to go?" , "Engaged" , "Dressed up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
