Light blue, "square" frame, big front fork, f***ing awesome
Discussion
This is how my mate describes the MTB he used to have 18 months ago, until it was nicked when he bravely (foolishly) left it chained up in Camden.
His birthday comes up next month and a couple of us thought we'd club together and buy him the exact one as he's had something crap since, except none of us can remember what make it was (we're car guys not bike guys ha!).
I'm pretty sure it's a Voodoo Hoodoo and that he probably had an 18" frame. But just before we drop £550 on one, can anyone else name a mountain bike that matches the description in the thread title?

Maybe, "big front fork" to me sounds like a long travel HT - a bit specialist, a touch of a nutters choice, most longer travel bikes are full suspension.
The Voodoo is a short travel HT.
Maybe it's the whole blue thing, but this springs to mind when I think of your description

Funny - that was my first guess as well. http://www.globalbike.co.uk/ragley-blue-pig-hardta...
This is my second guess - fits all the described criteria, it's blue, square tubed with a big fork and f
king awesome, but it's hardy a pedal-around-town bike and i can't believe anyone would lock it up outside in Camden!

I'm sure he knows but we're trying to do it on the sly ha!
So one of us found a pic, a crap pic. First off, sorry! Turns out it's not an MTB or even has a particularly big fork, so useless input from me there.
To my untrained eye and with 5 mins of googling using a fuzzy pic it looks like a Scott Voltage YZ - and that's as far as I've got. Could be a 4 after the YZ, or could be 0.1? Any more help really appreciated, and I'll Paypal beer money to anyone who can even find one for sale online.
EDIT: It's a Scott Voltage YZ1. Hunt begins for one for sale.

Not sure I fancy a 36 hour round trip to Czaplinek for this one despite it only being 150 quid at the moment.

You're a really good friend for trying, but I think you might struggle - it's quite an old model, 2006 which is OLD for a MTB.
Also your friend's isn't at all standard, it's had new forks (nope, I was looking at them wrong), crankset and brakes looking at the pictures, probably more - it's more agressive looking (and riding) than it would have been new, they were a strange breed, massive overbuilt frame like a jump bike or 4X bike, but the rest of it was more over hills and dales cross country, out friend's looks to be have been modified with more agreesive parts to match the frame.
The VooDoo you mentioned in your orginal post will be a better bike in every possible way, that's just progress for you.
