Run in neutral
The answer "IDLE" fits the clue "Run in neutral" because when a vehicle is in neutral, it is not moving forward or backward. Instead, the engine is running without engaging the gears, which is often referred to as idling. This means the vehicle is on but not actively driving, matching the idea of being in a neutral state. So, "IDLE" perfectly describes a car that is running but not in gear.

Do nothing (or MG's mood while making this "new" grid!)
The answer "IDLE" fits the clue "Do nothing" because the word means to be inactive or not engaged in any activity. When someone is idle, they are simply passing time without doing anything productive. Additionally, the reference to MG's mood while making the "new" grid suggests a feeling of being relaxed or unhurried, which aligns with the idea of being idle. Overall, "IDLE" perfectly captures the essence of doing nothing.

Not doing anything
The word "idle" means not active or not doing anything. When someone is idle, they are often just sitting around without a plan or task. This fits perfectly with the clue, which asks for a term that describes a lack of activity. So, "idle" captures the idea of being inactive very well.
