A very important question. 
It means: "Female Kubeldriver" 
Kübelfaher= male, the added "in" gives it a female conotation. |

Just to be safe, stick with the middle shirt. The one with the Thing and a logo.

The link is in deutsch, so I have problems too. I was going to try to buy a couple for myself and thought that if people here told me what they wanted, I would try to get a package with multiple t-shirts

hello SAM, sorry for my bad English. yes, I can send you 10 sweatshirts to California, whereby postage-cost themselves to 48 EUR for air mail ( 6- 7 days) and/or 32EUR for shipping ( 10 - 12 days) would amount. firstonce i need the desired sizes and colors of the sweatshirts (example: Color black; Motive: white print ; 3 x size S, 1 x size M; 3 x size L; 1 x size XL; 2 x size XXL). other Designs find you on my internetshop at www.shirtcheck.de . a big problem is the payment from usa to germany , do you have a idea how to pay? u had to transfer the money to my german bank , and i don't know how it works.
a sweatshirt costs between 15 till 20 EUR depent on size and which kind of print design ( frontprint , backprint , sleeveprint ).
greets to usa

Automated translation here.
Keep in mind that Kubel translates to "Excavator bucket".
I *think* this one is slang for Kubel mechanic (Kubel nut runner). Kubel wrench jokey or something? I like it!

Pretty easy, I right click on a photo to get the http address, it is in the properties at the bottom of the right click. Click on the Img box before a link and after.

If you can convince the guy to get a paypal account for payment, it works great. I've bought several goodies from the UK through eBay, paid in Sterling, and paypal does the conversion. One semester of German 20 years ago didn't help me translate his page, but I didn't see the paypal logo anywhere.

If anyone is still working on this, I'd be willing to buy a couple once they made it stateside.
I really like the orange one, long sleeve, and the one with the wrenches a lot. |

I don't think "Kubel" means "excavator bucket". I believe 'Kubel" means "tub" or "pail/bucket". I've read that Kubelwagen simply means "bucket car" - a nickname given to it by German troops during WWII.
I have had Babelfish screw up translations (words) in both Spanish and German on multiple occasions.
