To split the word: "Anh”nger" is a trailer. Follower, hmm... OK it is something that follows the car (hopefully):-) "Kupplung" is actually a clutch but it also means the link between two things i.e. motor and gearbox, but in this case it is between car and trailer. Hope to have helped you??!!! Heiko (German Type-3 driver) 68 Notch, 70 Fast, 71 Fast
