Haha I remeber that bargain price too
I would love a full sus bike, expensiiiiiive though, I live by loads of woods but they are not particialy hilly (still mage to crash though). Unless your doing full on down hill hard tail is better.
When I lived in Market Rasen the woods near me had a secret(ish) downhill section, made of wood with big drop offs etc, pretty knarly some 9ft drop offs, but too much for my hard tail really, then at the bottom, a cool wall:
Then a few non wooden downhill trails coming off it (this is all I could find on youtube) which I could run down on my bike:

Great vid Shade. Been looking at full sussy MTBs myself, instead of an off-roader, to get fit and join a couple of mates who are really hooked on downhill riding.
Canyon (German, mail order only) are really good value, top spec components www.canyon.com - bikes are supposed to be a quite a bit cheaper in German than the UK.
The TREK Top Fuel 9 is also very sweet

Schnauzer mate, check out the cycle to work scheme here in the UK.
Up to 40% off a new bike. I am sorting this out with a mate, will save about £400
If you get one, we should meet up for rides. There are some nice areas round here.

I will check out the ride to work scheme, not sure I will qualify though! I'm a minimum salary worker living off meagre share dividends
Canyon come up well in the reviews, because they put the stealer margin in to the components and pass on the rest. Bike Radar Review Best MTB of 2011
