I can't quite tell you how often I do maintenance, but I'll give you an idea...
In the last 2 or so years of owning my car, over a span of about 42k:
Coolant has been flushed twice,
Brake system has been flushed at least 5 times, during 2 of which pads, and rotors were changed, from the remaining 3 flushes, pads were changed once more, without changing rotors,
Fuel filter was changed twice,
Dist cap and rotor were replaced once,
Spark plugs have been replaced four times (I was experimenting with jacobs ignition), and wires have been changed twice, again for the same reason.
Manual transmission oil has been replaced 5 times, on 4 of which either the transaxle was taken out to repair, or replace!
Besides these, I also replaced many other things on the car, and it was necessary, including three sets of poly graphite bushings (I believe they wear out on the early susp. under hard usage), wheel bearings were also changed 3 times in the front, only once in the rear, as well as two sets of shocks, and 2 sets of upper strut mount bushing/bearings.
