Unhappy Where can I get a new engine?

'Cos I've managed to blow this one up...

Accelerated away from a roundabout onto a dual carraigeway in 2nd this evening.
As I changed up to 3rd there was an almighty bang. The car went into 3rd OK but sounded like there was a bag of nails in the engine. Clouds of thick white smoke out the back and the engine had completely died. Luckily nothing seized at speed - or if it did, it didn't pull me to an immediate halt.

I coasted to a halt on the grass verge and waited for the smoke to clear before lifting the bonnet. The whole of the lower rear of the engine is covered in oil - there's none left in the engine at all. It's definitely terminal...



So, what do I do now guys?

I await your suggestions eagerly...

Ken
