Looking just like a Fiat 500 and weighing even more, this enormous pumpkin has already smashed two records this weekend makes its bid for the world title.
For the last six weeks the champion pumpkin has been putting on a colossal two stone in weight each day - the same weight as two-year-old Freya Kirkpatrick who is proudly showing off the gigantic squash.
With a 17ft waist and weighing an estimated 1,652 lbs, this gigantic orange gourd has already smashed the British and European records. But after Saturday's official weigh-off, the Atlantic Giant may become the heaviest pumpkin of all time.
Twin brothers Ian and Stuart Paton, 49, have been growing giant pumpkins at Pine Tops Nursery in Lymington, Hampshire, for 30 years.

Ian said: 'We want the world record and we're going to get it. This may be our lucky year as one of our six pumpkins looks like it's going to tip the scales at 1,652lbs.
'The chart we use to approximate the weight of a pumpkin is based on a combination of three measurements. But we expect a difference of five per cent each way when it is weighed for real.

'The current world record weight is 1,725lbs, so if this difference falls in our favour we'll have a new world record.
'And if we don't get it this year we will get it in the future. Our pumpkins keep getting bigger each year. This is down to us learning more about how to grow them combined with their improved genetics -we cross breed the plants with the largest fruits to make the next generation of pumpkins even bigger.'

The current British record, also set by the brothers in 2008, stands at 1,457lbs, and the new challenger will be star of the show when it is lifted by fork lift truck on to a pallet to compete head-to-head with other heavyweights at the Jubilee Sailing Trust Pumpkin Festival in Southampton.
