  Doesn't even have to be its own OS.  Just a bunch of infected files on a hard 
drive will do.

  Take off one wheel- this is the important part.  Leave it parked outside 
Bob's place on the footpath for a couple of weeks.  He'll take it in trying to 
fix it.

  The damage would have been done by this stage, he would have fixed it, looked 
at the contents, and infect half his machines, before putting it out again 
realising that he didn't need a wheeled PC in the first place.
