Bearing of one in anger following vehicle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carriage

'bearing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'one in anger following vehicle' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'anger' becomes 'rage' (rage is a kind of anger**).
'following' says to put letters next to each other.
'vehicle' becomes 'car' (car is a kind of vehicle).
'i' placed inside 'rage' is 'riage'.
'riage' after 'car' is 'CARRIAGE'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for carriage that I've seen before include "Horse-drawn passenger vehicle" , "Coach - bearing" , "Posture; conveyance" , "Vehicle - bearing" , "Perhaps a smoker's" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
