Well, let's see, if we tell the world where it is then all the parts and 
good stuff will be gone by the time we get there.

At the risk of having thousands of people show up, Dixon is close to Davis.
Did that help any?  :)

Actually Dixon is a little south of I-80, just a lttle west and south of 
Davis, probably about half way between Sacramento and Berkeley.  From San 
Diego go north on I-5 until you get to the north end of the Grapevine, then 
take hwy 99 north.  Hwy 99 will save you about an hour of driving time over 
I-5 usually.  Depending on if you are on hwy 99 or on I-5, take regular 
I-80 westbound.  If on hwy 99 take the business-80/I-50 westbound turnoff 
which will soon turn into regular I-80.  Then heading west (not east unless 
you want to go to Tahoe) go just past Davis an exit or two and you will 
find the Dixon exit.  Go south on this two-lane road until you come to the 
swap meet.  I figure the meet will be in the fairgrounds, but I can't 
remember if this is before or after you get to Dixon.  Just watch on the 
left/east side of the road and "you can't miss it".  Otherwise get there 
early and stake out a spot behind a CHP officer on a freeway onramp and 
just follow the first British car you see go by, unless the CHP officer 
follows that one in which case just follow the second British car you see.

Now if there is ever a swap meet in Moclips Washington, I can sort of tell 
you how to get there too. :)
